You need the cash and it can be done... but the second best time to start investing in real estate is today... the best time was twenty years ago :)@Richard Dale-Mesaros man you're a legend with a story like that! 

Joe is a legend in the local Jacksonville Real Estate Community, he's been doing deals since the 1980s. 

I think its more urban legend than reality, to think you are going to get in front of the line with any bank owned property just because you have an account with them, or a loan or relationship of some kind.

Not including it is an urban legend or a point of confusion for many consumers.

Also, give way t-shirts @ events like high school football/basketball games with their logo on front, yours on the back

One urban legend is that it was created to give neighbors leverage for loud student party houses or students parking all over the street.

I would like to have soccer, basketball, and batting cages.

Just stumbled onto the podcast and forum and thought I'd throw out my first post as I'm beginning to read How to Invest in Real Estate: The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Getting Started, as well as working through general knowledge and terminology in the industry.I'm a 29-year old strength and conditioning coach working in China with the NBA for the past two years, focusing on youth and pro level basketball development.

(Hopefully my boy gets a basketball scholarship at UCLA and lives there one day or something.)

Long story short, the fence/barn/chicken coupe/driveway/basketball court etc, remains until it falls/burns etc.
