My age is catching up to me after shoveling for 2 hours yesterday.

That is different for everyone, but tailor it to your family's goals.She is in medical sales and dreads aging in this industry, so being able in 10 years to transition into fulltime REI with me is appealing to her.

Credit, jobs, income, age, married, plans for future all this matters.

So as you age out how many cats do you want to herd . :)  5 or 10  or 30 to 50 to get to the same spendable cash flow..

Typically with houses of this age - you'll need structural folks to dig and install piers into the soil.

The house had some signs of foundation settlement when he bought it which were chalked up to age, however it’s clear now that there has been more recent movement (some of this may have been due to an earthquake a few years ago) causing about 3 inches of settlement along this very small house.   

I have actually been thinkin about cutting losses honestly, I am not sure this is the best investment I could have made as my first but worried about how much of a loss I would have to take.It is meant for S8 for sure, I would have a stringent application process, and give the neighborhood a C from my research.I invested there because it was the first deal that basically fell on my lap where the mentor works with agents that Seller Finance deals, it was only $3k down and had thought the proximity to St.Louis would be attractive to tenants also.I effed up on waiting to post for rent until after all repairs and the COO for sure.  

Quote from @Travis Smith: Age 56 and retiring from farming and I’ve been very good at avoiding income taxes with depreciation and business expenses.  

Additionally, since my parents are nearing the retirement age, I'd like to prioritize low-debt, high-cashflow deals.

Add to that we have Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry with students (ages vary from 18 to seniors) numbering a few thousand, with no dorm space, and investors have purchased homes and rent room space to them.
