The quality and age of property is important too.

Hey Andrew, I know this post is old, but it appears to have aged very well. 

Age and families do mellow people.

One thing you can also do is work as loan Broker for Investment properties, there aren't any age requirements, reach out to me directly if you are interested.

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.

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 (???)

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

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 ?
