While I own quite a few rental units already, I thought condos might be a good option to gift to my kids when they turn 18, offering them a safe introduction to property ownership without too much risk.However, my challenge with investment condos is that the cash flow always seems terrible.

I bet you could make little to no money in 20 hours a week.

All that said, you are probably going to get better returns than I get in my safe/conservative areas. 

Best bet is to carefully analyze the zoning maps and regulations or just call the town and ask.

I remember proposing a mostly commission compensation plan, which was very safe for me.

I’ll bet if Peace has a forum there’s people talking about BP and being negative “what they’re teaching takes so long!!”

You bet it is lower risk than being on the equity side.

I bet you were floored when the person ordered every package you had to offer!!

When you have a duplex and tenants on both sides stay for ten years, it almost guarantees that something isn't right.I would study your market and determine the value of your rental, because I bet you are losing money every month.

So in my opinion, it teaches me how to use short-term leverage to build an income snowball...then once I get an efficient and ever-increasing machine...I pivot that into getting more long-term assets (using safe, long-term leverage).
