being a young landlord

[Andrew M.]

one of my biggst fears going into landlording is that i could encounter problems because of my age. im 18 although i really look a year or two younger. i am thinking that some tennants could be offended or resent the fact that someone significantly younger than them owns their house. im hoping that if i handle myself in an apropriate manner it wont be an issue but honestly i could easily see the problem coming up. so i guess im just looking to see what other people think about my situation

Don't worry about your age. I was a property manager/owner by the time I was 21, and believe it or not... every single tenant I have had has been older than me. I've never had a problem with the age thing. Yeah, I can tell it bothers some people to have a landlord younger than them, but that's their problem, not yours. Good luck!
