Not as big as they could have been but well known and envied by the 99%.Her parents have done a dismal job of preparing the children to continue the legacy.

The only experience I have with real estate is that my parents own one and are looking to acquire another house (one to live in while renting out their first house).

You mentioned good schools and low-crime, and as a parent myself, those are the things that would matter most to me.

I've had some of the worst days of my life working under mobile homes growing up, there no fun.My parents found it as free labor in their parks.

Hi Everyone,Just joined today, my name is Jon and I'm a novice at real estate.My parents have been in the real estate investment business for quite sometime, they own around 6-7 properties in the Bay Area and I've seen them flip a few houses and know some basic knowledge, but to be completely honest I don't know too much at all.

Is anyone familiar with the terms of an FOM that allows parents to purchase a college residence for ther student child as a 2nd home...ie not an investment loan?

(AP) — Paul Marinaccio Sr. traces his fear of frogs to a childhood incident in Italy when a man holding bullfrogs chased him away after he'd wandered from the vineyard where his parents worked.Decades later, he found himself describing his phobia to a jury, calling himself "a prisoner in my own home" after runoff water from a nearby development turned his 40-acre property into wetlands and inundated it with frogs."

Thank god for my parents who taught me the value of real estate.

I put myself through college with no scholarship, grants, or parents' money, and graduated with ZERO debt while working full time and commuting an hour to school.

By the way it is very rentable as is (just needs new carpet and paint), but most the 38K would really preserve the investment, solidify the rental income, and we want to be responsible landlords.We have decided not to touch the equity in our primary mortgage (most of it was a gift from my parents, so I especially want to respect that.)Currently, we have a request into Fannie Mae to reduce the sales price to 21K according to the appraisal.
