I would then house hack and live in one unit whilst renting out the others.

Being 44 years of age I am not ready to retire for at least 9-10 years.

I say this not to be sarcastic, but because I've found this is a legitimate question in the 'digital' age.

I’ve checked out realtor.com and played with some filters to narrow it down to be more specific to age of homes, price, and sold price to determine if they might be in areas I can farm and drive for dollars for potential wholesale deals and get some targeted lists together.

Hi Cheyenne, First off, props to you for wanting to take action at such a young age.

I'm about 8 years from retirement age, with just a few thousand in savings and a 401k that's smaller than the national average for people my age.

Saving money as months pass.Can’t find a home to purchase, losing motivation .. for now.Dividing I’ll try other options .. any other options especially to get out of renting So thinking wholesaling for now to gain more money whilst still looking for First home DuplexMulti familyCondos apartments ect I don’t know hat path to take either.

If it helps, I’m 25 and my ultimate real estate objective is to generate a medium class salary equivalent through cash flow by age 32.

@Michael L. the reason I replied to your thread is that you and I do think alike; in the past I had created a list of "intangibles" that I would score two or more properties on, as a tie breaker of which to offer on first.My list, in no particular order is: market time, age of big ticket items i.e. roof & windows & hvac, neighborhood, schools, view, curb appeal, potential, floorplan, owner's benefits (size of master suite, common areas), and "gut feeling".I never actually used the list.

It's in your best interest to have anyone that's going to be living in the house and over the age of 18 on the lease.
