@steve Thank you very much! I’m very blessed to be able to live my dream now I’m just trying to set myself up to continue to live a dream after baseball!

@chris Thank you for the advice! I will definitely pay close attention in finding a PM. Also I would like to have alittle of both but definitely more emphasis on the appreciation side of things that obviously that could change with more time and experience in this business.

Hi Chris, thank you very much for taking the time. Yes I’m looking into buying and holding only right now as I’m in for the long haul. That’s good news I was hoping that would be possible to do, just now time to find a deal and make it happen!

Hey everybody, my name is Clayton Cook and I play baseball in the Texas Rangers organization. This past offseason (October-early February) I decided i wanted to get into real estate, seeing as I had no prior experience I decided to get my real estate license to get into the business and learn as much as I could. So, while I was getting my license (got it in January) I have been crushing BP podcasts as well as talking to as many people as I could in the business. Now that spring training is in full swing I was wondering if I should hold off on purchasing until after the season when i can dedicate more time and energy towards that? As well as be there to take care of things in person as i obviously travel a lot for my job. If anybody has other suggestions or words of wisdom I’m all ears and would greatly appreciate it!

Hey man I'm with the Rangers and was worried about this same thing. I just got my real estate license and was looking to buy an investment property before spring training. Were you on a free agent minor league deal before you got called up when you were having a hard time being approved or your original minor league deal?
