"Just doing it" sounds great when you're buying basketball shoes, but will lead you to financial disaster. 

It's like building a basketball court on your property and then wondering how to play like Lebron.

In some cases it maybe advantageous to be a weekend warrior.

Hey Kevin, You probably don't remember me, but I used to play basketball with James every day almost hahaAnyway, I have clients who are investors who would love to see it once it is ready.

@Matthew Banks  if you want to be a successful real estate investor, self-managing your own properties (for a while) will give you invaluable experience--and without that experience, it will be very difficult to become a successful real estate investor (with or without PMs).Think of it this way: trying to manage a PM (or team of PMs) without any property management experience is a bit like trying to manage a car repair shop with zero experience fixing cars, or trying to coach a team to an NBA championship with no basketball experience, or trying to manage a law firm with no legal experience. 

One of those things is officiating basketball games.

hello everyone my name is Antonio Depina I am currently a professional basketball player in Europe who wants to start generating cash flow through rental properties.

As a coach I am intimately knowledgeable regarding the importance of one core difference between pro endurance athletes and weekend warriors: the pros recover like pros.
