If you have the greatest mentor and coach at baseball in the world but you don't know anything about the sport then you will be taking that mentor/coaches time to first teach you the basics that you could have easily learned on your own or by watching some baseball games or joining a local league; and that is probably not the the best use of the mentor/coach's time.  

Or how much and what kind of sunblock the big leagues are going to allow on pitcher's forearms in day games next year.

Like baseball, each “at bat” is an opportunity to score big.

I like the analogy to baseball.

I just received a request for 6 months furnished in Pittsburgh, a couple wants to have a place during the baseball season May-Oct as husband plays for the Pittsburgh Pirates. 

Beat Detroit and National League!

I'm trying to think of the best exit strategy for two properties that are out of my league as a buy and hold investor.

There are tons of baseball sized (some larger/some smaller) holes in the walls in every room.

My parents wanted to pay for an expensive Ivy League education.

The other thing is if they were negligent, for instance baseball through a window, pennies down the drain (just happened to me), or broke a light horse playing.
