Same strategy at 50 as at 24?
I originally got into real estate investing inadvertently at the age of 24. Over the next 10 years I acquired just shy of 20 doors and did a few flips. When the market crashed around 2007 2008 I lost almost everything. I just turned 50 about a month ago and I’m finally back on my feet and ready to aggressively hit the real estate investments again. Do you think there should be different strategies for an investor just starting (or my case starting over) in their 50’s As someone in their 20’s? Or are these principles and strategies pretty much universal? As I am more serious about and closer to retirement age, I probably should be more aggressive.
