I see it as a form of investment diversification...safe.... not sexy.... not a big $$ maker.....but thats ok...as long as you have plenty of other investments that pay much better. 

Teens already would rather NOT ever drive.  

I grew up in San Luis Obispo, CA before moving out here in my early teens.   

Too many people want these sexy tax strategies which can cost boat loads to implement.

On another note, maybe those of us in the STR space can start telling every teen and 20 something we know that they could make a great living by starting a cleaning and repair company focused only on STR's.

But yeah, I get it...they're not sexy

I can tell you that RE is going to seem a lot less sexy to people who made most of their money in the last 2 years.For better or for worse, we’re definitely living in interesting times ;)

When you start off it isn’t super sexy… $300 extra dollars a month isn’t much to get excited about… until you build it to 3-4 rentals… and suddenly it’s an extra $1,200 a month… then $1,500, $1800, and $2,100.  

I suppose it is far less sexy to say that one is financially stable, on a slow and steady path, and purchasing a new property every 12-18 months.

You don't want to go all out with everyroom geared toward kids, you then have the issue of boys vs girls and toddlers vs preteens vs teens and you may turn off some families.
