what age did you start your real estate investment career

[Sharlene Burch]

Good Morning Bigger Pockets!! Hey just curious what age you were when you started investing in real estate. Little background on me. I'm 59 have a great job in an industry that I'm burned out in. Live 3 hours from friends and family and would love to move back home in a few years. I do own 2 homes now, one is my primary residence and one is my weekend home back in Central Wisconsin. I really want to start investing in rental properties, buy and hold, and am just starting to educate myself in the process. I'll be in a pretty good financial place next year to make the move into the real estate market. But I'm wondering if at 59 I'm entering the field too late. My overall goal is to make about $4000 a month in net rental income minimum. Any advice to an "older" investor just starting out. And looking for some inspirational stories from people who started investing later in life. I'm doing this solo no spouse or partner so any advice and direction would be appreciated.
