Coop and Condo boards are writing anti AirBnB provisions into their bylaws.  

I learned from my parents and grand parents at a young age, about real estate and mail box money.

Well in the technology age its nearly impossible to do this now, however before computers and the internet people did this all the time I hear from older investors. pretty crazy but hey you gotta learn to play the game!

First, congratulations on having goals and good financial sense at a young age.

The so-called 2% rule is a different benchmark of the same metric.It does not provide any useful information about the quality of the asset: how much of that gross revenue is consumed by operating costs; what is the age and condition of the asset (is it functionally obsolete); etc.?

My only worry is the age of the home (1820) but it does look well-maintained. 

I'm 47 years old and I've got a government pension coming, but I've also got a military retirement when I reach age 60.

I don’t have time for the town busybodies, other landlords or simply curious.Surprisingly, I have been receiving the pdf’s back via email, having been completely filled out digitally- regardless of age. 

I've also originated a 30 year fixed rate cash out refinance to a guy in his 90's, he qualified and you can't discriminate on age.

Starting off with a mortgage at the young age of 22 is a great idea, as long as your property still positively cash flows.
