I guess I look at investing a little like playing basketball.

For example, we're sponsoring a community 3 on 3 basketball event in June which will include our tenants participating and creating their own team.

At the same time this isn't a good area for an internet warrior to work on their research skills in hopes of avoiding professional fees...Sounds like you have some banking questions also. 

When I was in high school, I was obsessed with basketball.

I've got to hear about all sorts of stuff, lines on basketball games, family issues, boyfriend issues, children's achievements, etc.Needless to say, none of this interests me at all, however, I used to manage a large number of folks at a corporation and I learned at a young age that how much your employees like you can drastically affect how hard the work for you.

The other reason was because I thought this would be something really great for the dad and son to work on together.The dad is a weekend warrior when it comes to vehicles.

This is a 4 bed 2.5 bath SF with a decent sized front/back yard (10,000 sqft lot, landscaped w/ basketball court).

And passion, finding love in doing what I do, trying not to be average or just another person in whatever space I am in ,but being a leader in it.I love watching basketball, football, boxing,MMA.

This individual who had started with literally $1000 and purchased into an apartment building had just closed a transaction to purchase the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team for $67.5 million.
