I'm making a very solid income at the age of 21 - about $6k/month with about $1500/mo expenses - by the time I'm 25 I'll be bringing in about $10k/month from my business - maybe more, but I estimate conservatively.

If all the properties with similar beds/bath/garage/size/age/neighborhood and whatever other factors matter in your area are priced from $200-$225, for example, then price yours at $175.

But at that age, you figure "what the hell, I will just do it again"  I did it again in the 1980's, eventually with similar results.Life happens over 45 years of investing and belive it or not, some of it is really bad.

Attorney milks the estate $120000 a year salary, buys crazy stuff, and after ten years the money is gone, poof.Dig into the moving parts: ages of all the parties, health and longevity of each, options, who is responsible, who is not responsible... 

At some point, the homefolks age out and need to sell, even if they don't want to leave their lifestyle.

The scope of work by a known local contractor and verification of funds from my bank was attached to the offer. 

I'd like to be able to get a general idea of the expenses before doing further research into the property to determine specifics (like determining the age of appliances). 

Neighborhood more than age of home determines its classification.

As their attorney (and the title agent), he had full access to whatever he thought was "unethical" but he could never pinpoint it, nor provide any accurate or actual verification of wrong doing.

I will never be one who lives with nothing and saves eveything however I do live a comfortable life and now will be acquiring buy and holds to help make it easier especially closer to retirement age.
