By the time I load my tools in my truck, diagnose the problem, run for parts, etc it often takes 2-3 times as long as someone who is equipped for this work.I will try to handle turning units between renters because it's a good opportunity to engage my teenage kids and pay them $x/hr for painting, cleaning and maintenance and teach them something about hard work in the process.

A teenager and a toddler so you can only imagine how active and alive my life is.

My Mom invested in RE so I sort of had the AHA moment as a teenager but got good grades, went to college, worked at, in hind-site, stupid but maybe character building low paying jobs while attending school, graduated, joined the rat race with a job I loved for a long time, met my wife, had a child. 

I first became interested in real estate as a teenager working with my Dad, who is a residential/commercial appraiser in McAllen, TX.

Their teenage and adult children entertained guests on my property's front porch. 

Doing our first flip in Scottsdale Arizona and the neighborhood is a mix of the residents that are not quite senior citizen but near or at retirement age and families with teenage to older children.

I always felt that my parents were getting "soft" with their properties but hey I was just a teenager observing the actions of others.  

I've been interested in it though since I was very young maybe 12, but that all kind of fell apart and my interest diminished somewhat in my later teenage years.

I really need to get a plan together and build my reserves at the same time as I keep growing, but it is so difficult with a full time job, 4 teenagers and a 3 month old baby.

She replied that she expects to have the voucher in two weeks and that it would cover 3 bedrooms because she and her husband have 3 teenagers.
