Retirement accounts are illiquid (at least until you reach an age to start taking distributions.)

I wouldn't worry as much about the age as I would what it would cost, how much it would rent for, how well it is built and when major repairs will be needed (ie how long will the roof last).Also for the two-are they both condos (ie strata/condo fees) or is one freehold and the other a condo (ie one has condo fees and the other doesn't)? 

Quote from @Aaron Antis: The others are correct.

Looking ahead, do you think we're entering a "golden age" for flipping and BRRRR, or are there still significant headwinds?

I say that, because if you introduce yourself to people in a clouded manner they may think you have something to hide.And what is your age bracket, early 20's, mid 40's etc (???)

Hi, DavidThank you for all the educational stuff you share, I been listening to the bigger pockets podcast for a while and trying to share some knowledge to my 16 year old son but he thinks is boring with I can understand that at his age but there is some occasions  specially when you share sports analysis when you gets his attention, so can you please do a podcast focus on teenagers so I can listen with him when driving to school in the mornings ?

Hey Rowan, It's impressive that you're diving into real estate investing at such a young age.

Effective age on the appraisal report is 18 yrs versus actual 39-year age of the unit, with a C4 condition rating. 

I’m considering cashing out my 401(k) and IRA funds to invest in more real estate and would appreciate any advice or insights on whether this idea is viable.Current Financial Situation:Significant savings in 401(k) and IRA accounts.Additional funds in a taxable brokerage account.Age: 40, with a relatively high effective tax rate.Limited emergency fund.Existing Duplex:Mortgage with a 75% LTV ratio and a high interest rate.Modest annual cash flow.Withdrawal Scenarios:Scenario 1: Withdraw everything today at age 40, resulting in a 35% loss to penalties and taxes.Scenario 2: Withdraw at age 60 with growth scenarios ranging from 1.3x to 2.3x the initial balance.Proposed Real Estate Investment:Purchase two additional duplexes with a 75% LTV and 6.635% interest rate on a 30-year term.Projected outcomes include appreciation, cash flow growth, loan amortization, and tax benefits.Comparison of Real Estate vs.

Try to find an Investor like me that’s aging out and work an off market deal wherever possible.
