From my understanding, the 529 can grow tax free (awesome for compound interest), and if my son wanted to use the money for college, it would be tax free.

I’m a son of Parent’s who immigrated to the US with less than $10k in the bank.

Owned by some friends’ daughter and son-in-law.

@Bob Malecki, I am her son's friend and an investor. 

@Paul Wolfson I could have, but what happens when my LL decides to terminate my lease and I have to tell my 5 yr old son that we have to leave the home that he was born and raised in?

My son wants to start wholesaling as an easy way to get into real estate with little capital.

In between the times, I'd stay with my son in southern Illinois  The market value of my house came from a real estate agent wanting to list my home. 

I had a jura capresso in a MTR,  they never used it, changed to   Kuerig and gave Jura to my son.

@Shiloh LundahlIn 2019 I needed a house for 2 months on Long Island, NY for myself, my daughter and son in law, and my 2 grandchildren.I rented, through VRBO a house in Bellport, NY, within easy walking distance of town and the beach.

Now son, lay down on my Sigmund Freud couch here and tell me how you feel when you get these calls every 30 minutes.
