A parent can buy an investment property now, use rental income to cover expenses while it appreciates, then funnel profits into a money-market account for their child. By adulthood, the kid inherits a paid-off home and a funded portfolio.
If you aren't investing in real estate, you're making your kids future difficult. Because in the coming years, it will not be affordable for your kids or the average American to buy a house unless you help them now. So if you want to make life easier for them, understand that it is a better financial decision for you to buy an investment property now, because you can rent it out and have it pay for itself while it continues to grow in value. But that's not even the best part, because once you're profiting from that property, you can take the profits from it and and put it into a money market account dedicated to your child when they reach a certain age. Now when they grow up, they will have a home fully paid off and a stock portfolio account sponsored by mom or dad.
