I have no prior knowledge or experience, but I've always been interested in RE since my teen years.

I modified two of my new builds this year to accommodate this requirement.. the larger national and production builders simply wont do it.I had one tenant that was morbidly Obese and basically bed ridden.. but she lived for some years like that I think maybe 5 or so.. it was an old single wide with an addition so I let her do whatever she wanted as when she left it was just going to the dump anyway  

Seems to be difficult to find IRR in the teens in any decent areas.

I manage several hedge funds, local and national investors and we are seeing ROI's in the mid-teens on an annual basis.

They would happily park money with syndicators, hope for IRRs in the teens, and call it a day.

Milltown kids may go to Spotswood High School still, so it's not as desirable for parents with older teens. 

I wish i would've thought that way back when i was a teen because I would have gotten a head start.

Mid teens are really more commonplace though.  

You may have a month where you can't afford to rehab what you wanted to do but we did things like make my teen son do the interior painting or I had our handyman do the tiling when we couldn't afford the subcontractors.

I am happy to share my program and how myself and my investor clients seeing returns in the mid-teens!
