If you told him you have been playing pickup games for the past year and need help improving your jump shot, now he has evidence you're motivated and a specific goal he can quickly help you work towards.

Changing the strategy can help get in the game. 

I am new to the real estate game and got my foot in the door by purchasing my first property as a live in renovation.

As someone focused on wholesaling and sourcing distressed properties both on-market and off-market I’m always looking to align with investors, agents, and other fix-and-flippers who are actively in the game.

Real estate is a LONG game and a good way to build wealth through equity.

With your background in architectural design, you're already ahead of the game in understanding spaces and their potential!

Throw in a few nice touches, like coffee or board games, to wow your guests.Keep extra linens, cleaning supplies, and essentials like toilet paper handy so turnovers are quick and easy.

All you managers, owners, etc need to think of the end game.

Buy close to Notre Dame and the nicer areas for game days, graduations, and families visiting. 

Trying to stay ahead of the game and be proactive.
