Together, we have over $200K (mostly in stock market investments), and our parents may help with the down payment.

I’ve lived here my whole life and worked hard to buy a house in my parents' neighborhood, which is the most sought-after area in the city.

Sounds like he will be the "GP" and you as parents will be the "LP".

@Shay Yao, yes, the parents are renting and living within the zoned school district.

Selling a primary residence and then buying it back as part of a 1031 exchange could raise red flags with the IRS.Your parents have a valuable opportunity to defer a significant amount of taxes by utilizing the $500,000 exclusion on their primary residence.

I think we will see more "adult" families living together...kids move back in or parents move in with kids.The traditional apartment model was based on 12month leases, but jobs are not always 12 months and people want flexible terms, so co-living often offers that.Seems like younger people between 20-30 and some other age groups don't want to get married and start that housing pathway our parents and grandparents took.   

I’m based in Denver, CO, and I’d classify myself as a serial entrepreneur with a deep-rooted passion for real estate.Real estate has been a part of my life since childhood—both of my parents dabbled in it part-time, so I was always surrounded by it.

You’re 3+ hours away, so relying on a management company is smart, but they’ll need to be on top of things to handle noise complaints, damage, or flaky rent payments (some students lean on parents who might not always pay on time).

It’s not an arms length transaction if your wife owns the selling trust that’s buying her parent’s property for less than market value.

Purchase price: $160,000 Cash invested: $45,000 My parents my wife and I own the property next to this one.
