Good move. Just about everyone in our very large families have kept all of their properties over the years, and that has worked out well for our kids.
Of course, some of the kids had careers that took them elsewhere by choice, but they’ve had the option of either keeping the properties or selling them, since not all young people find their dream career in San Diego.
Just about everyone I talk talk to seems to be trying to adopt this strategy–if they’re in a position to do so.
