Basically, the general trend I've seen is opting for access to outdoor sports and commuting when necessary.

There are ways to spread that capital across 1,000+ MF Units, but you will most likely give up some control in the process if you are fine with a team sport vs solopreneur.

Since purchasing her home the area has continued to developed including a brand new multi-sport recreational park just a short walk from her front door.Now that I am ready to move out and begin renting my property, my mother suggested me possibly taking over her home as my residence and she would look to buy a duplex where her and my grandparents would stay. 

Backyard offers plenty of space for storage, sports vehicles & other fun activities.

Looking to save money for my children for expenses throughout their life (first car, braces, sports/ class trips, etc).Currently saving the majority of the money in a CD (2.8% interest) so the exposure to inflation is a little hedged at least.I know this isn't the most aggressive option, but does anyone have any other ideas how to save money that can be accessed within short order as needed for expenses throughout their life?

I can't wait for all the sports events, concerts, and conventions to start back up. 

However, going out and buying a sports car right before closing is not advised.

I've had 4 trucks and matching pro bass boats parked side by side for a fishing tournament. 

It's like asking, "How do I play sports?"

Right now, we were thinking a good sport to start would be single family long term units.
