I'm an architect working in the Brooklyn market and have a number of investment opportunities which are seeing 20-30% returns as BRRR and mid-teens in the first 10 years.

Purchasing a home is typically seen as a longer term time investment and a commitment to a location, especially by young 18,19 year old fresh military personnel (most teens in general), and renting is much easier to up and out if you were to get orders and have to leave the Fayetteville area.

The teen took out a Palm tree (which saved my house) before hitting the garage door. 

Otherwise, it's best (for me) to just invest passively with others and get returns in the teens.

Unfortunately, she was t boned by a teen and she owned nothing.

Also people that are obese, and the elderly.

I remember my twenties and late teens.

Especially if interest rates went back up to those mid-teens levels that I hear they were at in the 80's when I was just a kid.Or, maybe there is still room for financing rental properties, and the fact that an interest rate jumps over a period of time from 4% to 8% or whatever, is countered by the fact that the price has dropped 30%, or 50%, and you just have to put a little more down up front, and there is more incentive to pay it off quicker rather than go get property number two.I'd love to hear what some people think.

I have two (teens now).

Before I "retired" at age 37, I worked in the corporate world for 15 years and held a variety of jobs including marketing manager for a tech company, a conference and event director, a probation officer, an office manager for a major alcohol distributor, and a counselor at a residential rehab facility for teens.
