My wife (who is anti-debt oddly enough) prefers to use financing up front to purchase to reduce the cash invested. 

There are dozens of "mom & pop" MFH owners out there that are aging and tired of owning their properties and have considered selling in the back of their mind.  

Congrats on diving in at such an early age.  

I knew from an early age in life that I never wanted to be ordinary and wanted to do amazing things with my life.

I feel like real estate has been my calling for quite a while even dating back to a young age.

@Kay KeovongphetIf you are still employed by Boeing and under the age of 59 1/2, you will not be able to transfer your funds elsewhere.Once you change jobs or reach retirement age, you would have the ability to move to a different plan.

I actually purchased my first home before the age of 30 in CA, and invested in several REIT companies (some I worked for previously as VP) including American Homes 4 Rent, Public Storage, and a few others including retail property portfolios. 

Normally, this is estimated around 5% (but may vary based on age of the property, up front renovations, etc.). 

Its exciting to see people taking their first steps at such a young age.
