I want to invest in Real estate and begin to make passive income at a young age.

In three years I bought ten homes and retired my wife at age 42.

"The Hero With a Thousand Faces" by Joseph Campbellvery roughly - Campbell spent decades studying the various mythologies of the world throughout the ages and discovered a universal "path" which he called "the Hero's Journey" and this book helps us find out what that path is and how we are all the hero of our own lives.

Starting at your age and staying focused you are sure to be a success.

Calculate the population change for different age ranges using the population age data for the most current year and the five previous yearsThe increase or decrease of the proportion of people in specific age ranges will dictate the property types that will be in the most demand.Job DiversityCensus.gov under the “Selected Economic Characteristics” tableDetermine whether a specific industry is responsible for a large percentage of jobs or not.Best Case:A market with outstanding job diversity will have no single industry that employs more than 25% of the employed population20% is e even betterDecent Case:If one single industry does employ more than 25% of the employed population, it’s one you trust the future of.This is determined by:Looking at the top employers or businesses and your research (talking to locals, reading local articles)Top Employers and BusinessesFind this information by Googling “CITY NAME + TOP EMPLOYERS)Determine the top 10 employers in the marketIf a certain industry is dominant in a market, analyzing the top employers and businesses allows you to determine whether the majority of those jobs are provided by one or two companies, or whether the risk is spread across multiple companies.This will allow you to track any developments within that company (are they creating a new facility, or cutting jobs?)

In my mind, this is much more closely associated with maintenance expense, along with construction type/materials, age, deferred maintenance at purchase, and last but not least, THE TENANTS!

Small company 75-80 employees and although I can just about make my own schedule here now --- I have  reached a cap in potential growth.The current job pays OK for my age but I am (like everyone) looking for more.  

And then, I assume, I just hang on to the property purchased through SD-IRA LLC and put the passive income into that account to be used when I reach the qualifying age?

So if a person with no or bad reputation offers me the best deal in the world, he certainly is not going to earn my business no matter what he is going to offer.On the other hand, we are living at the age of communications and information “flows”.

@Darryl DahlenHi Darryl, My wife and I are looking to attract small balance debt and equity, to participate in our scaling of Adult Residential Facilities-DD (developmentally disabled adults ages 22-59) ARF-DD.
