My grandparent just paid their house off and they'll probably move in the next few months but I can convince them to sell to me (They'll probably just give it to me) and I can live in that while I fix one up or my dad just paid his house off and I'm welcome there but he wants to put the house in my name so I might take out a HELOC loan on that home (It's in 43608 so won't get too much) to help with costs of the rehab if need be .

He has had life cycle of passive investors from the grandparents, to the parents, to the children, etc. invest in his properties.Some investors with track records already do not need to sell.

I am sad that my grandparents got ahead by working hard and saving, but I got ahead by borrowing.  

My grandparents who spent everything EVERYTHING for us, working fingers to the bone on the farm, coming here with near to nothing but clothes on there backs, had 0 to retire upon.

Then U have grandkids and we are the trusted grandparents which of course we enjoy especially my wife.

However, I was watched in my childhood by my mother and grandparents and tried to assure her it was a more meaningful experience for me as a child than going to daycare. 

Kind of like for me my grandparents living through the great depression borrowing money and paying interest was against their religion.

I'm not trying to scam my grandparents.
