You wouldn’t get much argument out of me if you raised it to 35.
People need to have faced life’s little/big trials before impacting the nation with their opinion based on fantasies.
Let them deal with their first job, their first home, their marriage, their family, their tax situation...
If you can’t be president before 35, why should someone under that age be able to vote for you?
I’ll go one better....
No military/federal service - No vote
Bring back the CCC for those who choose not to be in the military.

Raise it to 35 and must own real estate.

Didn’t one have to own property to vote back in the beginning? We just had a local vote to increase school taxes (again!). They always pass. Our property taxes went up 20% for this upcoming year - although our property has gone up in value too (but obviously we won’t see that as we aren’t selling anytime soon).
LOTS of people in the area rent - and I suppose they figure that they don’t pay taxes - so yeah - raise property taxes! (Not realizing that their landlord has to pay taxes, and will just pass the increase down to them in the form of higher rents.)
“RENT CONTROL! We need to have rent control!!! Those greedy landlords!!!”
