Quote from @Cliff Song: Here's a metaphor.You: "What's the best flooring material for my in-home basketball court?"

And the reimagined Adie Knox will also have (an outdoor) basketball court, pickleball and tennis courts, a splash pad accessible playground and a walking path.”https://windsorstar.com/news/local-news/massive-investment-confirmed-for-adie-knox-an-awesome-feeling-ward-2s-costante-says?

Well, to Shiloh and Bob's points, sports can be baseball, basketball, tennis, weightlifting, running...  

Outside of real estate, I enjoy skiing in wintertime, basketball all other times and having fun with friends and family all aboard this crazy ride.

Creating a holding company, LLC, business cards, websites, and all this other nonsense is like buying an indoor basketball court so you can pursue your dream of playing in the NBA . . . before you even try a pickup game to see if you are any good or like the sport.Buy an investment property and learn how to manage it.
