The experience led me to study law/court procedures, and understand what lawyers actually do. 

This aged well.

Many investors see no "hard line" on age as long as there’s strong cash flow and maintenance is manageable, but ensuring you’re prepared for any age-related quirks is essential.

We’re one ofthe few property managers that require W-2’s and a bank statement and we go way beyond the traditional, “income must =3x rent” qualifier.Below is more information about what our Applications Department does to screen applicants and find the best tenantspossible for your property.Required InfoWe require the following from each applicant over the age of 18, that is not a dependent of anotherapplicant (as evidenced on a tax return):Copy of acceptable state picture IDRecent YTD paystubRecent W-2Recent Bank Statement, all pages, no info blacked outRecent tax return if self-employedApplicants are often slow about turning this information in, asking us why we need it and then takingseveral days to submit.

There are going to be three levels of addressing this 1) things you can simply go there and do anytime (pick up pet waste and throw it away) 2) things you can do given proper notice (enter the unit and inspect, repair damage etc) and 3) things you can only do given proper process/procedure (notice to vacate, increase rent etc.)

I genuinely asked why you think not being born in the market you invest in would have any impact on success.THIRD: I didn’t realize your advice not to pursue it was because of his age.

It’s awesome that you’re jumping into real estate at such a young age.

If you are able to make an age related withdrawal or a loan from your 401k those could be good options since the stock market is currently at all time highs. 

Additionally, maintenance/cap ex expenses are high due to age.
