It seems like the market that I am in, the 1% rule is going to be tough and the 2% rule is a fantasy.

I'd say you're anticipating possible problems and getting caught up in believing the fantasy.

Yes I love football ha but some of the things Bill Walsh did really struck me as fundamental ways to keep pushing forward, motivating, asking questions, following through and not forgetting anything.

I know I'm pumped to check out some football over the next days/weeks . . . anyone else pumped?

I'm a Michigan fan as far as Big 10 Football goes, so we'll stop that discussion there :)I recommend buying yourself a 2-4 unit place.  

One fantasy is to find an area in a warmer climate, preferably near surfing (for the husband!)

Byu football has an excellent team this year and plays tomorrow night on ESPN.

Someone recently asked me what would be my Fantasy Goal.

I was in contact with the owner 3 weeks ago that said the tenant has not paid him rent in some time and that the tenant was one of his football players family.

I have RealtyTrak and I've seen some larger commercial properties I thought might have residential conversion opportunities in that area, but that was more of a passing fantasy, something like that is too large of a project for me right now (in terms of both time and capital).
