@Sam GergleyIt is generally best not to touch 401k funds until you reach age 59 1/2 because of the 10% early distribution penalty that applies in addition to state and federal taxes.

Lessons from the evolution and consolidation of the hotel industry in the 1950s and 60s are informative in understanding the potential for this seismic growth impacting the lodging industry decades later.The history of hoteling – from grand hotel to international brand:According to a December 2013 article in The Economist entitled “A Short History of Hotels: Be My Guest,” the age of the grand hotel lasted from 1860-1960.

My parents have owned rental properties, built developments, and owned agricultural and commercial real estate my entire life and I was involved in helping out at an early age.

That's the age old question, which has ZERO chance of being definitively answered here*! 

@Yaniv Sigler, in this day and age, it's just NOT hard or too expensive to get on a plane and PERSONALLY meet the people who you already trust, or want to learn to trust, to be your Wholesaler/Agent, Contractor/s and Property Manager.ie.

We can only give you so much advice not knowing the facts, and everyone here probably got started in different ways (and most not at age 23!)

I highly doubt it is fake/manufactured stone based on the age of your house.

The inspection report was thorough, and did uncover limited asbestos and limited termite intrusion, but nothing I wouldn't expect for a home that age, and nothing my contractor isn't aware of.  

This guy was actually 100 percent service connected AND drawing social security (at age 30) AND managed to get the Wound Warrior Project to fork over his security deposit AND first months rent for him.Despite an income of 8-9 times my rent he never paid on time and didn't pay March rent. 

For example- Crime, schools, house age, % renters, median price, etc.
