Dallas, Texas Pro Baseball Player

[Harrison Beethe]

What is up people! I am a super young, super inexperienced, super talented investor in the Dallas/Fort Worth area! My day job is a professional baseball player with the Kansas City Royals (super chill), but I have an intense passion for real estate (almost to the point where I quit baseball in college). Anyway, like I said I am super raw at this, but I am willing to put forth so much effort and work together with people who have the same large scale goals as me. In sports (and life) having goals is paramount to success. My goals are laughable to some, but attainable to me. If anyone has any questions, comments, suggestions, or anything else they want to say - even baseball questions - feel free to reach out and comment or send my a direct message. I'm super pumped to get started on this journey!

Welcome to BP. That is great you have a passion for real estate. As you know, every professional sports player has a shelf life. Real estate investing is something you can do forever. The best advice I can give is:

1. Be extra cautious when partnering with people. Your star power makes you a target more than the average person. People assume in professional sports you have money and you may not be savvy to catch a scam so the perfect mark.

2. The flip side of item 1 is using your star power to your advantage. It can get you in the door on deals or help attract investors to work with you. Use it while you have it to propel your investing career forward.

3. I fully agree that life, like sports, is about setting goals. The same drive that makes you successful in sports can make you successful in anything you do. Keep that passion.

As far your goals, I am interested to hear what your real estate goals are? Do you have any investments yet? 

I love baseball, even though I am Twins fan, which leads to ongoing disappointment, haha. I was born in Minnesota, so I can't help but support the Twinkies. Great to have you in the BP community. I hope you stay active. It would be great to hear about your journey as you get more into real estate.
