Anyone with kids look into this? Any drawbacks to this that I might want to be aware of? Seems like a great deal if you plan on staying in Nevada(I've lived here since 1975 so...).
 
Double check the fee scale. ( advisor fees, program management and maintenance charges, and some underlying investment fees. )
I believe if the child gets a scholarship and you don’t use it you’ll be able to get the taxes waived, it also went up to 15,000 this year as your contribution. And you can, I believe, transfer the account to another child if you need too.

Also, if I remember, you can use contribute to another States 529 plan if the child doesn’t wanna go to school in NV. Find an advisor to help, my info is 5 years old
 
My advice is if you have several kids don't do the pre-purchase for the youngest.

My parents did the pre-purchase for all their grand-children. It's looking like the youngest will use it, but his older brother won't, so his could have been transferred. Check the transfer rules - I assume they are still the same to transfer within the family.
