Does anyone have any ideas on how I can show them my age is a strength and not a weakness??

Most Americans at the time shifted their preference from owning to renting because they were either burned by home ownership, their credit was impaired and couldn't qualify for a mortgage, or they just couldn't afford a home given the weak economy. 

Listening to a few of the webinars and the art of analyzing deals keeps screaming at me as a weakness I need to work on.

I listen to the bigger pockets podcast while driving to work and wish I could go to the beach instead of sitting in LA traffic. personal balance sheet as of 9/14/2021assets                                           liabilities                             bank:$1617.95                              car loan:$10,555.00               savings:$14,284.36                        credit card debt:$159.63emergency fund:$840                    student loans:$0 cash:$113.14 trading account:$1775.10coin jar: $18.75credit available:$6,000 income statement Average income:$2100Average expense:$1875savings rate:$225 social security number 802 00 1031,  just kidding haha what would you do if you had my financial strengths and weaknesses.

Next I would focus on getting a more powerful lease that will protect you, the standard NJ realtors lease is very weak.

A duplex presented itself and through years of blogs, podcasts, research during the dark ages if anyone remembers Carlton Sheets, and I cunningly took advantage of the Sellers weak points and stole the deal at a great price.

Frankly, I could also LTR, but the payout would be pretty weak...but not negative.Summary: Make the decision based on your specifics. 

@Nick Anderson This is an great example of where the saying "Hire your weakness's" is specifically meant for.

The actual projected returns is my weak part.
