It feels like the focus has shifted from creating value to chasing quick payouts, with little regard for the end buyer.

At my age, I wonder if it’s too late to "get rich slow," as is the case with most real estate investing.I’m curious: is there a section of this website or a community that focuses on late-start investors?

Also, focus on 2 years of job/income stability.Class D Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, all cashflow with little, maybe even negative, relative rent & value appreciationVacancy Est: 20%+ should be used to cover nonpayment, evictions & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores under 560 (almost 30% probability of default), little to no good tradelines, lots of collections & chargeoffs, recent evictions.

It's great that you're focused on saving and educating yourself before diving into real estate.

Success doesn’t come overnight, but if you stay focused and keep pushing forward, the results will blow your mind.Education without execution is just plain entertainment. 

This eliminated any financial burden for Archie Raglin, allowing us to focus entirely on executing a smooth and profitable deal.

Many of my landlords saw income increases after hiring me because I brought them up to market rates.Time & Stress Savings for Investors: A PM will handle the work so your time is free to focus on family, hobbies, growing your portfolio, etc.

Best of luck as you focus and grow! 

I like to focus on the Mid-South and Midwest regions, particularly states like Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama, and Oklahoma. 

Would love to hear what you’re focused on or planning!
