Either appreciation and cashflow has its variables and as soon as one neglects the fact, its a gamble.

Thanks to Ember for being a great sport!

If I were to gamble I'd play black-jack, at least I can count cards!

Most of the people I talk to work full-time, have family obligations, do housework, are involved in sports, have continuing education, and the list goes on.  

One being a small 2 door sports coupe and the other being a nice used Mercedes 4 door.

Are you trying to get hold of the sports clothing Australia to give your team a whole new appearance?

I'd like to build a portfolio of rentals that have cash flow and allow me to buy a small condo at Hidden Valley (in the mountains) for fun some day.I can never make local REI meetups cause they are usually on Mon and Tues and that doesn't work for me, and seems like kids sports get in the way other times. 

The question is take a bit of a gamble and learn the business through joining the Brokerage Team?

You know those guys who save up to buy a cheap  American sports car, get someone to take a picture of themselves standing in front of it, and then use it as their profile pic?

REI is a team sport.
