    Hi everyone,

    My son is in his second year of university. He’s quite bright and has taken an interest in property. I have invested in multiple properties over the years but my wife was apprehensive about getting him too involved too early. I was just wondering if anyone had advice on the best way to give him exposure to investing?

    Thanks.

    A joint purchase could help him where he could not borrow on his own.

    Or perhaps you could lend him the full purchase price and he could refinance this later when his serviceability improves.

    It might also be good if he can buy a main residence and use the 6 year rule to rent it out and avoid CGT too.

    Well one of the best property investors in Australia started out young on this forum.

    I think age is less important than knowledge and understanding risk.

    I purchased my first at 21 and wish I had of started sooner.

    There are multiple books each with an extra piece of knowledge. but I would be more than happy to chat to him and answer any and all questions.

    Kind regards

    Perhaps show him what you’re doing? Maybe give him assistant duties? Nothing like learning the ropes by following your knowledgeable dad around 👍😎
