i guess my preferred inheritance option would be to have cash flowing property checks in the mailbox every month that could supplement any other income and that budget could fund everything from passion projects to tuition to memory making travel experiences. 

Undergrad population is 37K or so and out of state tuition is $30K or so, so those are some decent numbers in terms of welcoming rich folks to town, along with all the additional money injected into the community by rich kids.

Because I got a scholarship for school, I didn't have to use the $50,000 my parents had saved for my tuition.

For example, the neighborhood I live in has horrible public schools and we pay a hidden tax called private school tuition.

The tuition you pay for her incurs no tax liability but you don't want to lose the real estate to do that. 

Maybe we can point you to threads (on BP) or books to give you a basis of information and then you could put that "tuition" money to work into a deal and then REALLY learn something.

Same day they were meeting with me they had a finance guy in talking about how they could finance their students tuition's.

Consider it paying tuition at the school of landlording and move on.

I was looking to get a new degree in financing, accounting etc and knew I was going to be paying a tuition someway or another. 

I’m 22 and have a 16k balance im tuition that i need to pay.
