I have been investing my time, energy, and money into real estate for just about a year now.

Things going for you when you are younger (everything is generalizations): no family obligations, unbounded energy, a mind that is not jaded/an open mind, a willingness to experiment, geographically mobile, lots of time.Things going against you when you are younger: no money, no experience, no track record, unknown interests/abilities, no societal acceptance of ability. 

Otherwise, if you want to be active, you need to seriously commit time and energy to make it happen.

Think of the boost in will power this would give you after you closed on your first property.

Why spend time trying to convince someone to sell for 100k under what they want when you can spend that energy on a seller who is 10k off of your price?

I think if anything it will boost ownership of younger families.  

It can be a very lucrative purchasing strategy, but you really need to invest time and energy in learning it.

I like the 500 mile range that makes going camping realistic were as with my 16 X it only has 220 range which is fine for daily driving and we drive it 1000 miles to Vegas twice a year and with the super charger network it all works out fine and of course our superchargers are free so we never pay for energy..  

My husband and I were just talking about when we really began devoting a lot of our energy into acquiring properties about 4 years ago.  

Remember a bookkeeper can save you money, time, and energy in the long run.
