. - My Mom is a solid renter, clean, stable. - High appreciation, in a great area. - Once I make a grand entrance back in to the civilian world I could probably live there and split the rent with my Mom, and commute to school.Negatives - if something were to happen ( like she decided to move) the house would become an expense to us.

Moving, even for the most emotionally stable and financially well off is horribly disorientating.  

On the other hand, regular SRFs rented to families on 1 year leases are much more stable and you can build scale as quickly or slowly as you like. 

If you have a multi-member LLC, be very careful about using an off-the-shelf form.

I work in commercial real estate and think it is a really stable option with a lot of growth potential.

I have been focusing on developments in markets I think have high growth potential and have considered purchasing a primo lot in a new development, wait for others to buy and build the lots, and then sell my lot using a "last bottle on the shelf" approach.

Even when china slowed down some years ago and stopped buying from Australia, Sydney house prices did nothing but stay stable.

If you have a decent and stable income becoming a realtor may not be a great idea.

I think it is a much more stable and proven method to wealth creation. 

The income is a lot more stable, predictable and reliable, while the stock market is extremely volatile and unpredictable.
