[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the rich people I know had parents (or a trust fund) that helped them buy their first property. I would just make sure that you can help all of your children equitably. I wish my parents had thought this way but instead choose to hoard their money until death. [/quote] +1. My parents aren't wealthy (especially not DCUM wealthy) but they are comfortable and could easily have afforded to help with housing. If I'd been able to get into the housing market just a few years earlier, it would have meant tens of thousands (at least) more in equity, potential to move up, etc. Even if it had been contingent on repayment, it would have been such a huge help since I came out of undergrad and law school (without help from parents on either) with student loans. If you can afford to help them, please do![/quote]
