But a simple act of trying to help your children to buy their first family home can have incredibly negative impact on you if done incorrectly. And this is what we are discussing today.
There are number of issues you have to review and research before you proceed with any financial support for your kids, especially when considering a property purchase, which requires a major financial commitment or expenses on your part.

1. Do not gift the property
Never, ever give your kids the full ownership to the property as a gift.

2. Family dynamic
If you have more than one child, then financial assistance might be more difficult or more complex. You need to first consider if you are able to provide a similar assistance to each of your children. You cannot help one and not the other, that is just creating a family conflict and resentment.

Let’s now go over strategies that are available to you if you wish to assist your children in buying their first home:
- a gift

- buying together

4. Other issues to consider
