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.

Challenges?

That is the biggest challenge I have with my clients.

That said, its a great opportunity for the investor willing to accept the challenge.  

Affordability is one of the biggest challenges in today’s housing market.I believe smaller, more dense units are part of the solution:1) Buyers can only afford smaller homes in today’s economy.2) Denser units maximize the land available, increasing housing supply to help offset demand and ultimately bring costs down overall.It’s not just about building more, it’s also about building smarter.What are your thoughts?

It’s not always easy, but each challenge has taught me something new.

The test were very difficult and challenging. 

As many cities require insurances for any rental properties, this will be very challenging for market being affected.

Yes that seems high but without a breakdown of costs for the 13k it's challenging.
