Most of the podcast guests had $100k to pull out their retirement or like Brandon, started house hacking at a young age.

However, we would like to build one home for our aging mother and one for ourselves.

Unfortunately, in April of 2023 my aging parents' health went in a rough direction (father Alzheimer's/dementia, mom immobility) so I had to "move" back to Dallas, to care for them and also help them with their own bills.  

Another question to think about, that might be something an agent can help with is: where are the other people your age and life stage living? 

I know there is an "anti-agent" sentiment on the boards, but if you can find a "good one," it can be a real benefit. 

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.
