@Chris Seveney I've talked to a couple banks but run into problems with the age of my business- they all say they want a work history/business age of 2 years minimum.

@Angelo Wong  if this is a predominantly owner occ neighborhood have Curt or another agent send you MLS listings of same age basic sq footage bd and bath... if the numbers check out that will give you a second opinion..

Lets talk REI,I want to start off by saying this is the best social network in this day and age.

You will be able to have a long term view and grow your net worth over time.Search the forums for young, I know there have been threads about how to go about investing at a younger age.  

With three units, you shouldn't get too many maintenance calls or need to know serial numbers/ages of systems, so property management software would be burdensome.  

At my age, I don't think it's a good idea to risk my own personal property.Fortunately, we have no credit cards, since we maxed those out during the housing crunch and ended up not being able to pay them.And we only have one 17-yr old (step) daughter who lives with her mom, so there's no child support due to anyone.I've tried network marketing, affiliate marketing, blogging, etc., etc., as a "second job," and those are not viable.  

I have been in some sort of real estate ( construction contractor, landlord, flipper, loan officer ext.) since around the age of 17 ( I am now 32yrs old).

So here's the GOAL: To be financially free and out of the Rat Race by 41 years of age. 10 years to freedom.

One thing to keep in mind is that in PG, MoCo and DC, age is a protected class.  

Age does not play a factor unless you say so.
