Silicon Valley championed the concept of turning America into a land of entrepreneurs taking advantage of flexible hours, unimpeded by regulations or specialized training.

It's all about educating yourself on the market, the business and building the mindset of a champion.

I'll be selling one of my first investments next month, and I can finally have the ammunition to play in the cash buyer league.

(Playing minor league baseball is not very financially rewarding).

Of course, I swear they often champion the least favourable one {to us} over the other - depending on whose paying for the appraisal and for what purpose.

Degree in Business from the Univ. of North Florida, I am active in philanthropy,  I am a mother of 2 (a 21 yr old step son and a 15 yr old daughter), I bowl on a league, and I am the President of the PTA at my daughter high school.

Welcome to the big leagues Brian.

@Kenneth Huddleston if I only had this goldmine of BP and the desire to build a real estate portfolio when I was 16 I'd be in a different league right now.
