<prompt> Human: Hi everybody, sorry for the throwaway. Thanks for all the advice you guys give on here. So my mom has offered to give me her investment property approximate value of 250k with the stipulation that I gift her the maximum tax free amount each year 14k for 30 years. I live a couple states away and do not plan on moving home within the next 15 years. So my options to make income on it are: pay an agency to rent it out for me rent would be about 1500 a month minus fees, maintenance, etc. or sell it and then reinvest the money as I would a windfall 5 that would be about 12,500 a year. I currently have a part time job, but just finished an advanced degree and hope to go full time any day now, and my fiancee is full time. We dont spend much and are very conservative with money. We could easily pay 3k a year from our salary toward my mom. We have less than 2k in low income student loans and no other debt. My goal would be not to touch the 250K at all once it is invested, or kept as a rental.I was just wondering what you guys think of this whole thing. Any advice on how I could manage the gift to make more than 14k back each year? It seems like I would be giving all of the investment income back to her, but that isnt a problem at all, I am super grateful for the nest egg. Also, she if very giving and may not hold me to 30 years. She may cut it short at 15, I obviously would not count on it at all, but it could happen.Thanks!Edit: Seems like everyone agrees that renting it would be a headache, so I would just sell it. Probably put it on the market now and let it sit through next fall if it doesnt sell. It is newly redone on the interior and and ready to sell.Edit Conclusion: After Mrm487s comments, I let my mom know that this would legally considered a sale. I think she has come to the conclusion that this whole plan is a little wacko. She has decided that if I help her sell it and then help her invest the resulting capital, she would give me a cut of the investment income. Sounds less risky for me and a pretty simple way to make a buck but now I cant buy a Maserati just kidding I swear!  <response>: She is basically transferring all the risk of an investment property to you by doing this. So she will make an easy 14k a year with no risk while you worry about renting it out and fixing things and damages.
