Quote from @Devin Peterson: Quote from @Kieran Dowling: Hello,My parents helped me by my first rental property .

I don't see a national rent control law ever coming into law - aside from the fact that there's just no need for it, there's way too many things working against it - Congress, constitutional law, lobbyists, etc.

After it’s built borrow on full value and gift the parents back the land value?

If both the parent and child are married, this allows forgiving up to 4 times the annual gift tax exclusion per year.

Lots of good advice here, but no one asked what your parent's retirement plans are?

Think through what your parent or grandparents paid for their house.

Quote from @Martin Phinney: My wife and I are considering a move from the Seattle area to the Scottsdale area to be closer to her parents.

@Justin Goodrich I can speak for a lot of investors and say our biggest problems are out of our control. 

It would be mainly rented to alumni, parents of students and people exploring the area by the University of Florida.  

I am more likely to take a risk, but i suspect when my husband is out from under a controlling baby mama, he won’t mind a little risk either.I love Texas, try to vacation there often and my husband is aligned with Texas farm property as a ten year long term goal.I’m also passionate about the trades and if i could do it all again I’d be part owner of some kind of builder or remodeler or specialty trades business.
