I did vote on your last post though because I love the analogy of the "everyone gets a trophy" kids' sports teams.

I am not sure exactly what that means but appears they have been worth recognizing :) I know their sports programs like football and basketball have had success many years.

As far as I can remember, the city itself was the place you'd go for work or pleasure... sports, arts, theatre,  shopping. 

REI is a competitive sport: While you are stuck in analysis paralysis, someone else is buying the house.Good Luck!

It turned out he had never managed property before, in fact he had never touch a single peace of real estate in his life, and was a renter with zero experance beyound being a sales rep for sporting goods store.In the process of trying to make the deal work, he said he would be managing the properties, but after a few weeks of owning them,  he realized he had no clue what he was doing. 

At this point, its just sport.  

If I took 50% of the money I spent on travel, live sporting events and other splurges in the last 5 years I'd have more than enough for a down payment for 2 cash flow generating houses and much closer to financial freedom.  

Ring... ring.... they only had 2 boxes so I only got that, On Saturday I am going to see if the Sporting goods store has some...... ring ring.....

Real estate is one of the most amazing wealth generators you can find, but it is a cash intensive sport.

And what job would work best with diving into the real estate field while all I have is a sports management degree?
