[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is socialist about this whole situation?[/quote]

Not a damn thing.  The parents are distributing their private property as they see fit.  "Socialist" has come to mean "something I don't like" to a lot of people.  Honestly, OP thinking that she is somehow entitled to a certain amount of money that she didn't earn seems closer to socialism than anything the parents are doing.  [/quote]

Most parents in America - baring a disabled or handicapped adult child - do not buy or fund rental properties for one kid and not the other. 
They split everything equally by number of children and then some equally to grandchildren.

A sure fire way to show favoritism or punish the other is to gift property, money, family jewels, etc to only select offspring and not all. Or not wait until death for equal distribution.[/quote]

BIL has been working with/for them, while OP's husband has not.  The idea that OP, as a DIL, was already counting her husband's money while they're still alive is gross enough, but to completely write off the work BIL did as "has no job so he liked to find the renters and call himself a property manager" when she doesn't know how much work he's done is laughable.  She considers his work for his parents to be a joke, but somehow her complete lack of input deserves a 50% stake in these properties?

OP you've created a problem by having [rude, unrealistic] expectations.  If you want rental properties you should follow your IL's example and buy and manage some.  Maybe some magical hobo will show up and run them for you for free like you thought BIL was doing for your husband's parents![/quote]
