Mom wrote a pretty good, assertive letter for her son, but this response obliterates it.

If you’d like to continue renting I need to know when you plan to reoccupy the property unless your son would like to apply separately.

As a former college baseball player (albeit D3) and current coach for my 15U son, I commend you on your interest in real estate while still in school and playing ball.What type of property are you looking to acquire first?

My son is 22 years old and leading his 2nd large rehab (1st was about $40k, 2nd will likely be $50k).  

My son and I operate many LTR & STR properties and self-manage them all. 

I want to buy and hold, running this as a retirement project, with my son managing it. 

I have 2 sons, ages 3 and 1.5.

We don’t do overseas rental units but recently have traveled in those countries and my brother bought in Italy and my son is based in Sicily.  

I have a son in a similar situation, he went 6 months trying to get decent work and had other issues.

My sons are of homebuying age but the barriers to entry are so much higher than they ever were before.
