It's never good to start off any relationship with a lie or with holding some truths.  

Hopefully with enough money to do great things for my family (Giving parents a great retirement, top-notch education for my kids, be able to give my wife a great life with excess, travel the world together, the usual...)My plan thus far is this:-Begin building credit (currently have none)-Begin investing in buy and hold properties ASAP (probably looking at FHA loan on multi-family with a cosigner to get going)-Continue pursuing Bachelor's in Computer Science-Graduate and find software engineer position-Live below my means and be investing as much as possible into buy and hold properties (I aim to be generating 10k+/month in passive income in my early 40's)-Once my passive income can support my expenses -possibly before- begin a startup-Keep working towards that 10k+/month and retire when/if I feel like itDoes this seem like a good, sensible, plausible plan? 

Hi,I was planning to send some money to my Costa Rican parents to buy my share of a rental in Costa Rica. 

I am going to be doing some deals for my parents as 50/50 split.

He has all the students' parents co-sign on the units. 

I'm curious,  did your parents ever find a place to rent or purchase in Laguna Beach? 

Qualify the parents the same way you qualify the kids, they're likely the ones who are going to be covering damage, and make sure it's someone who has 'something to lose' so you can go after them for missed rent.

Or if your situation changes drastically (divorce, family expansion (child on the way or parent moving in, etc.)).

My parents shared their bank statements with the lender - my sister didn't get a copy of them. 

The biggest compliments I got were from a realtor who called asked who our stager was and said that it was some of the best staging she’s seen and another was from a college-aged girl who came in with her parents for the open house and asked if the furniture came with the house.Here are few more “after” photos to give you a sense of how we set up the space.
