Right now we are about a week to a week and half, but with 4 youngsters we don’t read on the weekends.

Does anyone have a favorite lease clause they throw in so they are protected from damages from youngsters?

The youngsters haven’t been entering any sort of trade for some time.

Two youngsters want to rent my 1-bedroom furnished apartment.

What many don't get, especially youngsters starting out, is they don't know basic contract law.  

Early retirement folks jump on the idea but panic after 6 months of minimalist living (or when they have kids)The next part is just anecdote but I work assisted living right now and the construction plans are for full size 3000+ sq homes , the studios we used to have endless demand for are hard to fill now.So if the youngsters only last until the honeymoon periods over and the elderly want space as well then who is the demographic?

When I started, I was intimidated by being a youngster in real estate, going against older, experienced investor.

This business is very time consuming, if you havent read anything yet i suggest you read robert kiyosaki rich dad poor dad to kind of set your mindset but dont take it as bible it's mostly a way of thinking you can PM me for more info on how to obtain the book if you would like. otherthan that welcome were happy to have youim also a youngster 21 yrs of age

demographics of long term note investors is 50 to 90 YO  folks... its the youngsters that go for the rental houses and or those that don't know about note investing ... they are both great if done correctly.. and they both have their advantages of course.notes have no specific tax advantages but are great for IRAs especially roths... rentals in the right spot can be great as they can go way up in value while throwing off cash flow.

I even had a youngster (early 20's) once tell me she wanted to paint the OUTSIDE of my little yellow stucco cottage; I had to explain the color was specifically picked out as a heritage color and was not going to be changed by anyone but myself (and I LIKE little yellow cottages).
