You think age could be an issue?

Husband and I currently have 5 properties with tenants.  Just bought 3 more.  So, we are very active at acquiring income generating rental properties.  Between the two of us, I'm in charge of the rehabbing and maintenance while he's in charge of the people aspect.  We manage our own properties. 

We have a diverse group of tenants.  Elderly couple, family of 4, young couple with a kid, etc.  But one thing that they all have in common so far is they have all commented to my husband that he's a little young to be a landlord.  He's mid to late 20s but he's one of those guys with a baby face so everybody always thinks he's 18-20.

I kinda know what they mean.  We have rented before and all our landlords have always been middle age to older.  You think because of he looks so young people might have a problem with answering to a younger landlord/property manager?
