Real estate investing is a passion of mine. I’ve done quite a bit of it in the past and plan to do some more in the future. Before I became a real estate agent selling residential properties, however, I flipped homes—one year I flipped 23 houses! This gives me a pretty wide range of knowledge about real estate investing, and today I’d like to share with you a unique investing technique that I think every parent or grandparent should consider.

I once had a client who would buy a property for each one of her grandchildren and rent them out. These properties were around $150,000, so they weren’t too expensive, and she would use a property management company to deal with her tenants.

She used all of the money from the rental to pay her mortgage on the property, and after about 15 years, the house was mostly paid off. Not only that, but it had appreciated in value as well! This client was then able to sell that $150,000 house for up to $200,000 and have plenty of money to pay for her grandchild’s college education.

Student loan debt has become a major problem for many people today, and this is a great solution to secure a college education for those you love most.

Real estate is a fantastic way to invest in your future and build wealth, so if you’d like to learn more about it, I’d like to invite you to attend the introduction to a real estate investing class I’ll be teaching on November 5th from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. It will take place at Keller Williams City View in Training Room A in San Antonio.
