With over 79% of people aged 65 and older owning homes—and 10.5 million of those carrying mortgages—interest rate "jail" is a significant issue for this demographic.

It's not that you would not have the skills, but most clients want to work with someone who is at least their own age.

Disabled and retirees get a certain level of significantly lowered hours and simple assignments, because moving is living and social interaction is needed not to mention there our elders and man we need elder wisdom this day n age so badly. 

For the reason Henry mentioned, you need to screen anyone over 18 living in the house. 

Congratulations on building such an impressive portfolio at such a young age and achieving so many successes!

There is so much to learn between the ages of 18-22. 

As I mentioned above, we're both W2 employee. 

My question is: could the current tenant (age 59) remain in the property if she becomes eligible for Section 8 assistance?

For (2), as properties age the rents you command decrease. 

Utter blasphemy, only "unsophisticated" investors buy in cash.An experienced investor once told me "why use my cash, when I could just default on OPM" I know its not popular thought on BP.. and of course ramp up requires it unless you inherit a ton of dough but as we age out I sure like free and clear and no debt.. just the hassle factor of having to make payments :)
