We learned some lessons there and came up with a plan to target a very niche market (sport fishermen).

HI Jared,Some random thoughts on this.Houghton Lake in Michigan is it's largest inland lake at 20,000+ acres.It is a beach lake and a sport boat lake as well as a fishing lake.It is a vacation destination.It sisters up to Higgins Lake which is considered by many as a good fishing lake at about 10,000 acres.To me 50 acres seem like a pond.What do the vacationers think of the two lakes, are they equal in desire for the same reasons?

I hope that you have joined your local REIA.  1 or 2 meetings a month around other investors.This is definitely a team sport if you can find the right friends/connections.

Sports programs are a much bigger deal and universities spend a lot more money on these things despite the fact that most of them lose money.

The home is in one of the best school districts -  Buford High School -is the rare combination of great academics and sports with a brand new high school being finished construction for 2019.   

just like there are plenty of professional teams that have coaches that never played the sport. 

Since this sport is picking up a lot of interest across the country this year, getting courts has been a hassle.

Anything he can give the seller to help the deal, frequent flyer miles, timeshare stays, vacation home stays, professional services like free tax returns, sport tickets, etc.Have you shown him sample CMAs to show where the market is. 

A lot of people travel out here during the fall (changing of the leaves) and winter (snow sports).

If you walked up to Michael Jordan and said, "I want to be learn sports" he would walk away.
