I tell my children all the time.....

May be it is because he needs to support his 14 or 20 children and HAVE TO rent what he have without even pretending to be honest, but 4 Br apt, made out of 3 Br condo changed 11(eleven!)

My wife and I do not have children and she works in O&G upstream for an oil major, so most of our earnings go to purchasing houses.

It would be like telling everyone they should be married or should have children or should go to church.I have a Bachelor's Degree and I can tell you with certainty that college CANNOT teach you about Real Estate.

With people still coming back, (parents that stay in the city they left Katrina for while their children finished high school... people like my mother) i can say that with the distressed home and steadily rising market I see positive growth potential.I am flat broke... but I have been helping my grandparents and living with them during my college years... so i am not this lazy kid who wants to make it over night.

Even after they were totally depreciated he held on to them and eventually gave them to his children.

Whether or not they will want to is a different story.Find out from the cousin (and this is where the laws of succession in NJ come in) had children.

Well I hope to leave something more to my children.

By contributing to the NO, they can take the deduction for it, AND use it to provide a continued income to the children.

They have personal agendas, plans for the houses, want some of the stuff and ideas abou what to do with the cash from savings or sale.These living people have bills to pay, children to feed and habits to pay for.Find the pain and the things that interfere and solve those problems.
