I enjoy college football, video games, and lifting weights. 

I have a good cash flowing portfolio that has appreciated extremely well In the last 10 years, it’s a small college town off the radar,   and I know it’s a unicorn situation to find deals that are in markets set for great appreciation, and have solid cash flow, but I know there’s more out there! 

The only thing that bests fear is courage and we only need a mustard seed of that to get things going...People often spend money on college and never go in to the field they spent that money on...the greatest lessons and the ones most remembered are learned 'on the job'.Wishing you more good news in the future and an exceptional 2025.
