When you are 59 and laid off, your best bet is to retire.http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-retirement24-2009may24,0,885521.story Early retirement claims increase dramaticallyInstead of working longer as the economy worsens, more Americans are calling it quits before age 66.

Congrats, I do care, I stop at 20 years of Age Lonnie does as well.

Make a low ball offer then rinse and repeat, eventually you will have a list of houses you keep an eye on to see if they reduce the price, hit a certain age, or get sold.Kinda simple and low tech but it works for me and I actually enjoy driving around looking at houses lol.

Renter occupied: 41 % Population: 46,557 Vacancy rate: 6.1 % Median household income: $33,986 Monthly rent affordability: $849 Crime rate index: Violent: 4, Property: 5 (1-lowest, 5-highest) Ethnicity: White (92 %) , Black (4 %) , Hispanic (3 %) Age groups: Under 18 (24 %), 25 to 34 (16 %), 35 to 44 (14 %) Education: High School (49 %) , College (8 %) , Graduate School (4 %)

I would doubt it given the age.

theres no way that we could afford "prime" real estate. i know the area isn't where people are going to buy that have cash on hand and can afford a $300k mortgage. its not why we are buying it. at least 5 of dh's friends have bought in the SAME lennar subdivision so its geared towards first time or not great credit homeowners and even military who are going to be moving every few years. honestly with the schools....from what i 've heard all of tucson and az suck big time. if your really worried about education then people are going to send their kids to private school or homeschool. my kids won't be here long enough for "real" education (or lack there of) to hurt them. 1st grade at worst and i do realize that many things happen in 1st grade but its a hurdle we'll get to when we get there being 3+ yrs in the future. now i also know that many many many people our age DON"T have kids so school isn't even on their radar. sure the south will always be cheaper vs. the transplanting the same house on an east or northeast street b/c its the south. but theres sacrifices we have to make and we realize that.we (well my realtor) phoned EVERY builder in town asking if they had anything like lennars selling points and everyone shot her down saying it was outrageous. so we did try. yes its the valencia reserve just south of valencia on alvernon on the left (if going south). now the rancho at $140k interests me. we put in offer at $150k all closing costs paid (so technically $142 or so for the actual house) and obviously rancho is nicer!

Everything else about the house (age, etc.) looks good.

Since they are sfr's why don't you additionally comp out the homes and offer some kind of discount for a bulk sale The taxes and insurance are very low, what is the average age of the homes and did you budget for near term future cap ex projects I am envious of the cash flow Good luck

There has been more than one occasion that the tenants thought I worked for the landlord, probably due to young age and tattoos.
