Mid 50's: Too old to start investing in property?

[Terry Power]

G'day from downunder,

Okay, so i'm 55...      There, i said it. 

I've worked for myself pretty much ever since i left school, i'm now a management consultant and keynote speaker in Western Australia, and for the past couple of decades i've run a fairly successful business. But now, i'm looking for something else to get excited about.

my question: is it foolish to start in this game in your mid fifties? Do you know any successful investors that began later in life (most of the podcasts guests I've seen are young or were young when they started)? If so, it'd be great to connect so i can hear the pro and cons.

Thanks in anticipation,

Terry
