Currently, my profession is in the medical field as I am a medical assistant for a well known Sports Medicine Clinic.

Investing is a team sport, so don't wait.

Btw @Jay Hinrichs , not sure if your son was a big sports fan, or @Kristin Horowitz , if you are - but my Dad is a Cal Poly grad and flew out to (Iowa?)

Wear a nice shirt, slacks and sports jacket and find an active probate courtroom.

No one wants to live there, the sports teams are second-rate, the drop-out rates in the schools are over 100% (some come back and drop out TWICE!)

Sports is my passion and I love doing that but i would like to make more money on top of my teaching salary.

My children both attend private schools in Portland and are active in sports, dance, drama, wake boarding, snowboarding, and community service.As the title says, I was a small time investor.

As a followup to another thread that was posted on getting bank financing on inexpensive SFRs (sporting caps of 24-36% and up).Has anyone, anywhere, been able to get local bank or credit union financing (at least 5 yr term, could be amortizing loan or LOC, but not short term rehab financing) on SFRs where the total investment is below $30K.

I mean range rover sport, corvette, 7 series 5 series, escalade...i mean i made the biggest mistake when i jumped the gun and purchased the 6 series grand coupe when it first came out in 2013.

Many young professionals come out of school and need to "look" the part- fancy sports car, big house, country club membership etc.
