Look at what's selling, what that includes, how big, what's the lot size, finishes on the interior, age etc.

Varies, depending on the age of the house, tenants, etc...but I spend maybe an average of 2 hours a month on my rental property .

I am at a certain age (Ah hem...mid 50's) when exit strategies are at the forefront.

I am 21 years of age, and have had plans of getting into real estate investing for approximately 4 years.

Congrats on taking the plunge at your age, that is great.

Bill Gulley seeing as how you know my age ;) I don't just have a grown son, I have grown grandsons and granddaughters!

Great to see that you have decided to start at a young age, that is fantastic.

Since I keep thinking about it regardless of how many times people tell me that it's risky and hard to do, I feel that real estate has enough appeal to me that I can use to push through challenges that I'll face.Every time I mentioned real estate to anyone around me, I got only warnings and negativity, especially considering my age.

If you have galvanized this is going to be just the beginning of your 'plumbing' traumas.You will become very experienced in pex if & when you are forced to change it all out.A fellow investor had a diverter valve issue & the plumber quoted the PM $450 to switch it out.But there was an easy access & we found the valve stem seat inside the aging diverter was broken because of an accumulation of rust etc from the aging galv pipes. $100 & it was all replaced.

Hi Jon,I'm not clear on this but I believe it's because you're not allowed to take money out of a retirement account until you reach 59 1/2 which she has reached that age at this point.
