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.

Our kids are 2, 6, 9, and 11.Would LOVE to connect!

It will familiarize you with the basic terminology and benefits.

You are a kid and it will be hard to understand exactly what you are asking, where are you getting your money from?

I'm curious on peoples go to approach to secure financing for an investment property - use a broker? start w local bank or CU ? or even a local brick and mortar bank?

I just never knew how to get in and working the 9-5, kids, home, etc took my time.

@Michael Smythe - Agreed it is all basic stuff to you and I in the field of PM.

Last night, I heard an inspiring story about a mom who brought her young kids along for a 45-minute drive to tour an investment property.

If a family with kids values D+ then the probably already have it, so providing smart TVs where they can log into their subscription is sufficient. 

Looked up hotels and I see $350-600 per room per night for 2 adults and 3 kids.
