Want to know how to set your kids up for LIFE? The answer is pretty simple: rental properties. Whether you plan on keeping them or giving them to your children later in life, rental properties are one of the best ways to secure generational wealth for your children, their children, and many generations to come. But how do you give your kids everything while ensuring they stay hard-working, frugal, and financially savvy? We’re gonna show you how.

Welcome back to Seeing Greene, where David, Rob, and special guest James Dainard answer your legacy-building questions. First, Falisha wants to know how to create generational wealth for her children. James gives an interesting take on why he’s NOT giving his kids rental properties but doing something that’ll make buying a home MUCH easier when they come of age. An investor on the BiggerPockets forums asks when to put appreciation over cash flow, an almost-financially-free investor wonders when he should go full-time into real estate, and a young investor wants to know how to start investing in real estate when his local market is too expensive.

Hop on the BiggerPockets forums and ask other investors their take, or follow David on Instagram to see when he’s going live so you can jump on a live Q&A and get your question answered on the spot!
