With CAP rates in the large apt and office building space below 6%, I don't blame some large players for taking profits.  

I am professional online poker player but I have had REI in consideration a few years already.

They just want the deal to close and move on to the next one.If you're ready to close, that's the "CD" or closing disclosure (it's a new form in the industry that the CFPB (consumer financial protection bureau) put in place for every loan from now on, instead of the old Good Faith Estimate and Truth in Lending. 

I would think using a savings account or using a variety of cd's and rotating them over.  

Set up a plan and budget go over materials you want and can afford for it figure out whats worth the effort and whats not but of course first things first set up with a hard working A player real estate agent to help you find the best deals.

I don't like condo's because of the fees and power players wanting to sit on the boards.A condo sitting for 2 years is a long time.

Learn to become excellent at the fundamentals: Locating & negotiating great deals, accurately analyzing potential deals, and building key relationships with cash buyers along with other key players that will bring deals your way. 

Over the next couple of years many players entered the market and failed.  

Good to see an NFL player taking care of his financial future so early in his career!
