We also have a local ministry school that draws a few thousand students of various ages, from around the world; and no dorms, so investors have bought up much of the housing for renting room space, in addition to the airbnb properties!

Unless we note otherwise in the listing information or disclosures, we fix everything that is broken or not functioning properly, but we have had several recent requests that are expensive and I'm interested in your experience in handling things like:- this roof is old and we're worried that we may have to replace it (was inspected by roofer and determined to be functioning properly)- there are screens missing from some of the windows and we would like you to add them- we're concerned about the drainage and would like you to add gutters- the AC unit is old (age disclosed in disclosure docs, was tested by HVAC guy and running fine) So do you budget for this type of concession, do you "meet in the middle" or do something else?  

Before the age of 25 I would like to acquire at least one property within a mile from campus.

With a solo 401k plan, each spouse can contribute $53,000 and each can contribute a catch-up amount of $6,000 if age 50 or older.

I became deaf at the age of around 5 years old and had a choclear implant.

Further, sheltering income via a retirement account does not eliminate the tax, it defers the tax until the income is recognized as a distribution from the retirement account (mandatory distributions begin at age 701/2.).  

@Nicole Jacobson You have some great experience under your belt at such a young age.

I'm 23 years of age and a recent college grad looking to begin investing in real estate.

I noted the age of the roof and 5 years after COE, we replaced it. 

What people didn't see is from age 22 till 30 years old Gary worked 7 days a week 15 hours a day.
