It's fine to be from another locale but I think there are some situations that only Californians can relate to best.Anyways, I am an engineer who is looking to real estate as being an escape from the rat race.  

Kentucky basketball, horse racing, bourbon, family, friends and everything else in KY solidified my desire to return to live and raise a family.

You're their knight on a white horse now.

Ben summed it up, numbers don't mean anything in reality, except ensuring that your horse isn't eating all the hay before you buy him.

He had exotic cars, muscle cars, show cars and a couple of race cars.

The horse pasture behind my parent's place was developed when I was a kid - 12 houses and a large hole just wet enough to produce mosquitoes and frogs.

I'm excited to get out of the rat race and start building that asset column!

There is always a short position (I have no horse in the race but some LL laminate!!)

Prices vs rents now - Miniature Horses.

Doesn't matter which crackhead turns up at my doorstep with some horse and pony story about why they own it.
