The clients we book ourselves are looking rest and discretion (some are recuperating out patients from nearby hospitals) and all of this is clearly stated in our policy and description with Evolve including an "age requirement" to book with us.

The age old question of how to get started in RE will always have its answers and like many said above it is not easy, if you live in FLA and do not have FLA money what do you do? 

@Bobby Valcin There are appliance lifespan charts that with deciding, also serial number look up for appliance ages.

Let me know what you guys think or what most people are doing/not doing Age and location of trees have a big effect on the sewer line.

This is becoming more common but it's likely you could get full replacement cost elsewhere depending on the age. 

In my experience though, even for my term business the average age of a client is 60 years old.

As an example, DC allows Associate Brokers to ma age properties.

I am nearing retirement age so I don't want to tie it up for another 20 years unless I am getting some cash flow right out of the gate.

what about the age of the homes and the maintenance costs?

It will be a new asset with little to no cap ex, and lower expenses.With an apartment, if you buy an existing building, you will cash flow day one, but there are other concerns, such as age, property management, debt, exit strategy.It depends upon your goals with the money, if you're trying to create income, or if you're trying to go into the business full time.Gino
