The distressed or well aged look.John Corey

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. 

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.
