I got started at exactly your age and was set up well by 35.  2.

@Arthur Luay At age 40, if your goal is to save for a down payment on your first long-term rental, the best option depends on your timeline and risk tolerance—but here's how each choice stacks up: A savings account offers safety and liquidity but earns minimal interest.

In this day and age, the physical location of a real estate brokerage shouldn't matter.

The couple times I've used a debt fund, I've seen what speed can actually look like, but your average bank or CU takes ages.

Instead of worrying about the label “tornado alley,” focus on the actual property features:How is the roof condition and age?

That's a great age and awesome profession to be in to start doing some real estate.Like others if you can do a 203k or homestyle renovation loan that is the best to build some instant equity with the least amount of money out of your pocket.Do you have enough capital for a 3.5-5% down payment? 

At your age I would say go ahead and try it out. 

Areas such as aging, medical issues that come with aging like diabetes, dementia, and Alzheimers, networking and marketing, leadership and staff management as well as working with insurance companies on collection of payments if you accept insurance, and how to be compliant with state rules and laws with regards to residential assisted living. 

We’re one of the few property managers that require W-2’s and a bank statement and we go way beyond the traditional, “income must = 3x rent” qualifier.Below is more information about what our Applications Department does to screen applicants and find the best tenants possible for your property.Required InfoWe require the following from each applicant over the age of 18, that is not a dependent of another applicant (as evidenced on a tax return):Copy of acceptable state picture IDRecent YTD paystubRecent W-2Recent Bank Statement, all pages, no info blacked outRecent tax return if self-employedApplicants are often slow about turning this information in, asking us why we need it and then taking several days to submit.

They evaluate the breed/size/age/etc and give a score accordingly.
