Investment property for kids

Property seems like a good long term investment to help children get a head start. Assuming parents gift children $100K deposit by age 10 to purchase $400K property, then when the child graduates from university they can live in the property and have a flatmate to help pay mortgage and by the time they are 30yo the mortgage is repaid and they are debt free...by that time property will be likely worth over $1m.

Looks like trust (for each child) is the best way, also good for asset protection.

Example:
https://www.onthehouse.com.au/property/qld/broadbeach-4218/3-4-rosewood-ave-broadbeach-qld-4218-3909608 - Currently $420pw rent....so positively geared from day of purchase
You may have notice no internal photos because its straight out of the 80s, yet new kitchen, bathroom, carpets paint and it looks like new for less than $50K and immediately raise value to over $500K, see neighbors unit:

Queensland property values are much lower than other regions, much easier to find positively geared properties and land tax threshold for trusts is $350K and property above would be well below threshold land value.
