I really want to meet other people my age who are interested in real estate investing or people in general who can help!

I owned a property by the time I was your age but didn't have my head on straight..you have plenty of time, so take it.

Cheap yes.Others who market to high equity, long years of owner ship (>15yrs owned, no mortgage etc, age >55) have decent quality of replies. 

Its crazy to think that this is how bad it is in this day and age.

It’s super relatable, especially since your friend is around the same age and also just getting started.Also, as someone who works closely with newer investors, especially those with busy careers like your friend, I’d love to share some insight on how she can diversify her income while keeping it relatively hands-off.

This day and age, sales is all about being honest.

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.

What market are you in, what is the age of the asset?

I think you're recommending a more detailed analysis involving the age/condition of all the building components/systems and prorating those costs out over time.
