If your goal is to make money-management an activity as opposed to something that "just happens," I'd argue that you should steer clear of stocks unless your kids have a real interest in learning about the stock market.Instead I'd opt for something a little more hands-on:1.

Thank you Sam,I'm set to go to my first REIA meeting this month and am hoping to be steered towards a good mentor in my area.

If that's the case I'll steer clear.I looked up some HML numbers and one offered 9 1/2% and 1.75 points.  

Talk to 2 or 3 lenders, tell them what you're trying to do, and they will steer you in the right direction and tell you if it looks like you'll qualify.Lastly, be confident with your ARV and rehab numbers!

Apologies for the consecutive posts - I don't mean to steer the conversation. 

They looked at me like I was an idiot.This exercise steered me back to my passion for real estate investment.

He is helped me and my colleagues with several personal deals and always steered us well!

@Matthew Lengel steers you the right direction.  

I suspect all of these will have virtually the exact same content.. just want to steer clear of any that try to upsell you to their 15 to 30k mentorship.. unless you can spend that money without blinking..
