He said your dad comes from a different age where things were maintained differently and that I need to make a move if I want something.

@David Friedman it’s funny how these threads age… I ended up scaling my flips to a point where it just makes more sense to get into a strategy that takes advantage of the economies of scale.

And if not, no worries :)Not to age myself but i started in  1975  LOL.. 

This is really dependent on the stage of your investment life.At your age starting out I would be heavier into cash and 401k.  

I'm a parent of college age kids. 

If I could do it all over again, I would invent a time machine, go back to the age of 21 and start buying buildings then.

Hi Noah, congratulations on having an incredible vision at a young age.

What I would suggest alternatively is putting a clause in the lease that anyone above the age of 18 that's going to be living in the unit for more than 7 days has to be approved by the landlord and pass credit/background/income check etc. 

I think at this age, I'm not a young man anymore and tired of dealing with tenants, toilets and Karen neighbors. 

Take into account elements including the property's state, the age of the HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems, and any necessary cosmetic renovations to draw in renters.
