@Ti JacksonIt's awesome to hear from someone my age!

They might snag a deal that you like, but there are tons of properties available - and there are tons of agents available if the agent you're working with tries to steer you away from purchasing a property that they want for themselves (I actually think this might bite them in the butt, though, since they aren't working in their client's interest - word travels fast in the internet age).

I’m Jacob and has recently turned the age of 19.

You can discriminate and ask for only a particular sex, only a certain religion, etc.I would personally try to find someone of generally the same background, age, income, and temperament as yourself.

And depending on your age and what U like to do  There is not many investments more passive than buying a nice chunk of timber ground. 

And when I find assets on my portfolio that don’t conform to that standard,I offload them ruthlessly as I just did with these Cleveland buildings that prompted this post.Unfortunately, there are numerous folks on BP who post rabidly everyday as an online strategy to grow a struggling business.They comment on every thread and greet every new BP member.Nothing wrong with that:But if you peddle falsehoods in this age of information, know that you will eventually be caught out.And beware because what you posted in the forums in 2013 are still there and available with a simple search.You can’t go back and delete every comment you ever made.You had better be consistent with your fake news if that’s the game you play.But don't come on my thread and try to claim to be what you’re not.My threads tend to attract savvy experienced investors, not just the newbies you’ve been impressing with your lies for like forever on BP.

There was an interesting coincidence in that our kids were the same age as their kids when they purchased the property 18 years ago.

The agreed sale price is 400K, I will keep the mortgage under my name at $1200 and collect $2400 per month, cash flowing a little over $1000 per month and 200K of equity at the agreed purchase price.Adding up my portion of the equity in the properties and my liquid cash totals to $1,105,000 putting in the net worth of 1 million + at the age of 26.

Cash makes low-income people who know their aging house has problems lose their minds.

One of the topics I hear about is the age old topic of to leverage or not to leverage.
