Starting Real Estate Investing Later in Life

[Mark Mattison]

I'm 60 years old.  I've worked a W-2 job for close to 40 years.   I have saved thru my 401K at work and even will receive a pension (or lump sum) when I retire.   Starting in March 2018, I will be retired from the W-2 job, but I do not want to "officially" retire from working.   I really want to get into real estate investing as a second career.   Reading and listening to the BP podcasts, there are a variety of areas to invest in real estate.  I'm would love to get some recommendations from folks who have started later in life investing in real estate and what areas did they focus on and why did they go in that direction.   Thank you!   Mark
