They can be great, but you need to really run the numbers and check the assumptions.
Housing where it is "affordable" (read: median salary can afford a house) is a great way to get a leg up on the pile - though remember that the average age of a person RECEIVING and inheritance is 60.
But in places were buying a house is $2m but renting the same one is $3k a month, it's hard to ever make the numbers work.
