Especially in todays' day and age with all the chaos going on in the world.It's important to have a vivid vision and use that keep yourself going when the going gets tough!

The quality and age of property is important too.

(squatting, renters leaving, specific repairs, insurance verification (I usually recommend and do not mandate renter's insurance for my properties), inspections..)Thank you in advance!

Age and families do mellow people.

One thing you can also do is work as loan Broker for Investment properties, there aren't any age requirements, reach out to me directly if you are interested.

Retirement accounts are illiquid (at least until you reach an age to start taking distributions.)

I wouldn't worry as much about the age as I would what it would cost, how much it would rent for, how well it is built and when major repairs will be needed (ie how long will the roof last).Also for the two-are they both condos (ie strata/condo fees) or is one freehold and the other a condo (ie one has condo fees and the other doesn't)? 

I say that, because if you introduce yourself to people in a clouded manner they may think you have something to hide.And what is your age bracket, early 20's, mid 40's etc (???)

Looking ahead, do you think we're entering a "golden age" for flipping and BRRRR, or are there still significant headwinds?
