How do I become a trusted real estate agent at my age?

I'm past middle age and I would like to purchase a duplex to house hack in a better neighborhood.

At 26, having 4 properties and looking for more is quite the story.KeyBank man should be ashamed of himself.I'd disagree with some of the assumptions in this thread.Rate locks don't need to be for more than 30 days.  45 days can cost you a quarter point depending on the lender and it's really not necessary.Always remember that origination points and discount points are two distinctly different things.For us, some origination fees can be just 2 points and some are just 3 points.

The age of the home does not matter.

A lot of homes that age have W/D in the garage, so if it's inside the home, that's a plus. 

I do not want to spend 20k to replace roof if current old roof still has more years of age left.

Aged, cobwebs throughout.

I am of an age that I don’t want to fight those unnecessary battles when the problems arise.

Figuring out this distinction has been light and enjoyable.Insightful Tax & Advisory

Anyone having issues with their insurance company not wanting to insure properties over a certain age?
