A former employer offered me 45K or $210 a month starting now (I'm 50) instead of waiting until at least 55 to start collecting the full value which was about $700 at age 62, I think.I took the 45K which was about 27K after taxes and penalties. 

That company was voted this year as the best to work for in America.2) He has a project in the works to stop the #1 killer of Americans age 4-34 with his driverless car project.3) He's created a nanobot project that with the goal to cure cancer within the next 10 years.Originally posted by @Bobby Narinov:"Obviously he is so far off base because he has never seen his property tax bill.

But you will have a hard time renting without a garage in this range and area.Taxes in 2012 were $3,438+ 400HOA+ 3400 insurance due to flood and age.

Welcome to BP and congrats at passing the exam at such a young age! 

At your age by putting in the max every year, by the time your retiring you'll have a million dollars tax free.The second thing I would do is invest my Roth IRA in real estate in a self directed account.The third thing I would do would be to put the max amount in a 401K with a Roth component, again would be tax free and would invest in real estate. 

Are they not wanting to mentor you bc of your age and experience?

I have found one 4 unit house and looking for your help with deal analysis, below are the details of the property.1) House located in Stratford, CT, built in 1860 so very old house needs total renovation.Price:$279,900Units: 4 (all are 2 bed 1 baths)DOM:162Total SqFt +/-:5,406 +/-$/SqFt:$51.78Zoning:RS-4Acres:0.35 Acres +/-Age:154 years (1860)Lot Desc:LEVELAttic:YesExterior:Stone, StuccoRoofASPHLTHeat:Gas, HT/WTRCooling:NoneBasement:Crawl Space, Full, PartialWater/Sewer:City Water, Sewer, Sewer FeesGarage/Parking:OFF/STWaterfront:NoREO:NoWhen I looked at the property there seems to be water in the basement at some point, so i am thinking it might be in flood zone (I have to confirm with agent yet).

Young & dumb just to save the $110 install charge.Two years later the top 7-10 courses of that chimney simply collapsed due to spalling & age.......NEVER again.....

I think if you asked most landlords historically what their overall costs are for their rentals (all-inclusive excluding debt service), depending on age and type of property, they would say somewhere in the range of 40-60%.

Getting into real estate at an age when you don't mind, or even prefer, having roommates really opens up possibilities.
