We had a guy once who told me he wants $300k for his property worth $150k and that he was big league and we could never do what he did, then he hung up on me. 

This was out of our league, at this point in the game..

College isn't worth the money in most cases unless you're going to some ivy league school.

Here is the deal it is listed with a realtor, of course the asking price is way of its league in my town.The asking price is $320,000...

And I try to enjoy one diversion in a league of some sort all the time.

My current home has views of uptown and I also have a quarter acre lot and am in walking distance to the NFL stadium, NBA arena, new minor league baseball stadium and a host of restaurants the theater, and museums.Seversville is the adjacent neighborhood where we are building 6 new bungalow homes.

So unless you look for a sleeper neighborhood about to pop or a major league fixer-upper, your return is likely to be sluggish.

MHP shopping centers  and land developments ( which I brought most of those and worked on entitlements).they then did what many did and went to dallas for greener pastures only to lose the properties and because as you state in those days the GP did a PG.. they ended up with a over million dollar judgment on them from a Texas bank. it was major league ugly.

Here, I play softball with leagues consisting of 250 teams,  pickleball on one of 150 Pickle ball courts ( can"t play in Oregon because the courts would always be wet!)

All first deals are most likely going to be out of your league.
