Short answer
Kevin Paffrath was born January 28, 1992, in Germany, in Velbert near Düsseldorf by his own account (Wikipedia says the neighboring city of Wuppertal), which makes him 34 as of September 2026. The company’s September 2026 offering circular lists his age as 34. He got his real estate license at 18, bought his first house at 20, ran for governor at 29, started House Hack at 30 and is running Reinvest at 34. 12
Born: Jan 28, 1992 (Wuppertal, Germany)
Age: 34 (as of September 2026, per the Form 1-A)
First house: Age 20 (February 2012)
The date
Public records give January 28, 1992, in Germany; he says Velbert, near Düsseldorf, and Wikipedia says Wuppertal, the next city over. One voter-guide site lists January 27; treat Wikipedia and the profiles that agree with it as authoritative. The Form 1-A offering circular of September 2, 2026 lists his age as 34. 12
What he did at each age
He was licensed as a California real estate agent in 2010, at 18. He closed on his first house in February 2012, a few days after turning 20. He became a broker about two years after licensing and was, by one profile’s account, a top-three agent in Ventura County by 2015, at 23. He announced for governor in May 2021 at 29, formed House Hack in June 2022 at 30, launched an ETF that November, and is running Reinvest at 34. 13
Why people ask
Partly because the resume reads older than the face. The answer is that the real estate part started at 18, and the YouTube part that made him known did not start in earnest until 2018, when he was 26.
In his own videos
February 2024: he moved to the U.S. at 13 months old. 4
