I'm like the basketball player waiting for the buzzer in order to get in the game, I'm right there!

As a former pro basketball player, I know that teamwork makes the dream work!

I enjoy myself some CP3 and Shai Gilgeous Alexander OKC Thunder basketball, which makes me a bit more excited about the idea of investing there.

So I have been in the process of preparing to build a basketball/volleyball gymnasium to rent out. 

-Borders a country club ($2,590/yr for individual golf membership, $5,178/yr for a family)-Good school district with elementary/middle/high schools-Low crime-Homes in Beacon are appreciating well (~8% a year, not to say that this will necessarily continue)-Tons of parks, outdoor activities (basketball, baseball, tennis, running tracks, etc), art galleries nearby-Metro north 20 minute walk away-International airport 20 minute drive away-0.24 acre lot which could be sold/built on (not sure what can be built -- still need to check with the city, though I would try to sell the lot)-Obvious the owners took good care of the propertyCons:-Driveway is off the town's busiest 3-lane street and is a one minute drive from I-84 (during rush hours the lanes get packed)-Back yard has a flat area, but towards the back it is a steep climb up to an elevated area.

Class c: soccer/ basketball players.

I get in my car drive to the gym and my basketball gear is in my trunk so I shoot hoops for hours until I forget about it and then I return home.

The estate offers a world of its own with two homes that combine for more than 18,000 square feet, as well as a 3,400-square-foot recreation center, two-hole golf course, tennis court, basketball court, infinity-edge pool and cabana set among vineyards and fruit trees.

I find that the same drive I have for basketball and the competitive nature, is easily transferred  to Investing.

Graduated from UCLA in 2003 with a degree in Communication Studies and still have season tickets for Football and attend a few basketball games a year.Slowly but surely over the past 5 years I have been gaining interest in becoming a full time investor as well.
