Just recently I have got my realtors license to help me better my knowledge and increase my portfolio, whilst having the ability to serve others as well.

Multiple profitable exit strategies if it doesn't have an offer in the next two weeks.Deal 2 (4/1):  Older 3/2 ranch purchased from aging investor. 

Its a silver space age looking bubble wrap in 4' widths and comes in a roll 100' long.

I would imagine the same thing would apply with a retirement community or something where you would need to be above a certain age.  

The closer to broad ripple the more renters there probably are but also the more maintenance you'll have to do between renters due to their likely age range and lifestyle choices.

My wife and I have 4 kids between the ages of 6 & 12, so that also keeps me busy and limits my time.

When I do analysis for myself or my clients I like to see for location strong population growth, high median income levels ( national average is around 54k ) so I like 80k plus generally, low violent crime levels, strong economic county or city planning department, good absorption levels for existing retail inventory.If you drive an area and most all of the retail centers are at 50% no matter the age then the landlords will cannibalize each other in rents and you will have a long road to climb.

Our short term goal ( 5 yrs. ) is to acquire 20 properties which will give us a sustainable income by age 35.

It's great that you've already begun thinking about real estate at your age.

I would call real estate brokers up at age 15 and ask them the secrets to their success.
