But, we are all big boys, all adults, so it's a good place to speak your mind.Depending on how "unrealistic" or "low-ball" your offers are, I don't think/agree that you should be running in to so many problems.

I currently live in Des Moines, IA, however I spent 90% of my adult life in St.

Vancouver, along with Hong Kong are in a category unto themselves.You can throw those affordability rankings right out the window when you have some immigrant families willing to live 20 members to a 2 bedroom apartment with at least 10 adults among them all with full-time jobs and/or running businesses.

If property is held in a company, expenses are deducted against the companies revenue.Obviously the taxation discussion is more detailed than this little blurb ... go see your accountant :-)2) Income "sharing" - If the real estate is held in a company, it is easier to have multiple owners of that company (each with their own class of dividend paying shares) which means the retained earnings of the company can be "shared" amongst the various shareholders: ie, a spouse, {adult} children or grandchildren {you need to be careful paying dividends to minor children as the CRA taxes them at a higher rate {search "Kiddie tax"}}.3) Trusts - if your objective is to build a significant real estate holding which you may wish to leave as a legacy to take care of those nine grandchildren, then you will want to consider the possibility of a trust down the road.  

Hey Nicholas,I am not a RE expert, but I have been in sales (one capacity or another) for most of my adult life.

It allowed me to grow into the adult that I needed to be and opened my eyes to cultures around the world.

I have a family of 7, 5 adults and 2 children that wish to rent our rental home.

I recently saw a report that adults under 40 are net increasing here in NH, which means that more are moving in than moving out.

I can't say enough about the Cashflow Game by Robert Kiyosaki... it is a great family game, for adults and kids... the real "Game of Life"!!!

It is been a while since I read the book but one of the most interesting facts was the discussion of wealthy parent financially supporting their adult children.The author did a comparison of the financial status of professional adult children that were still receiving support from their parents.
