I'm definitely ready for the football and basketball to start up again.I think your path of flipping leading into long-term rentals is exactly where my partner and I are headed.

-Game Room: set up a dedicated game room with a pool table, foosball table, or even a basketball hoop for some indoor fun.

My father played pro basketball I've always wanted to get into real estate and I am happy to be here and to learn from all the great members.

throw a basketball hoop in there and cement it. looks good for the open house

Like you are all here for deals, but nobody is allowed to talk about deals.By far the worst was, I am looking for an Investor Agent or Property Manager in X market....The only people who would reply would be Investor Agents and Property Managers who were not allowed to mention that they were Investor Agents and Property Mangers lol, reading it was like watching a dolphin dribble a basketball lol.....I'm glad they created the Classifieds and started letting everyone post to them, solved this nonsensical problem really quick.

I'm a former D1 basketball player and full time student entering the world of real estate investing.

Purchase price: $85,000 Cash invested: $85,000 2/100 shares of a commercial building in Downtown Sacramento across the street from the new GoldenOne Basketball arena.

and what is your end game, rent, occupy, or flip?

Then your holding costs will kill you and you wont be able to sell the property or even rent it out to come close to covering the monthly liability.In the rental game rents will shift but generally you are able to keep everything afloat. 

There seems like there is frequently old schools for sale in my neck of the woods....people buy them and try to turn them into apartments or industrial complexes......I have a colleague that buys them up like crazy for some reason.....they don't get very much for them......he bought one just so he'd have a place for him and his buddies to play pick up basketball games......rents the rest out for storage or whatever..... he also rents to religious groups / cults,  that want to teach their beliefs to their kids.......he seems like he's doing fine with them?????
