Lots of industries work this way--music, movie, sports.  

A little about me : • I own a condo (5 yrs ) and I might be selling this summer (still deciding )• I'm engaged and getting married next year• no kids yet• love sports (Bball, football , baseball )• loooooove my job My Real estate goal is to become a buy and hold investor (SFR and/or small multifamily) for positive cash flow, to have the ability to have a better retirement , and leave something for my future kids to have when I kick the bucket.Where I live in NY its seems like it's too expensive to afford any buy and hold properties or house hack without having a 2hr commute to work and from but I could be wrong.I've read a couple of posts that the surrounding areas of NYC its also not really good for cash flow or ROI so I'm open to looking into other places to invest that are not too far from where I live that's more affordable (150k and less, SFR) , Any suggestions anyone ?

I didn't like the taste to much, its always missing something so I learned to add certain spices and herbs to make a meal taste better, Chef Ramsey would love me in "Hell's Kitchen" lol in fact seeing I am self taught I actually worked as a Sous Chef in a German Resturant in Texas and everyone loved my cooking, today even my wife loves my cooking (as long as I stay away from Italian Dishes, she is Italian and that is her baliwack lol).

I'd think you could make a killing there during snow bird season, or hey get a condo cheap somewhere close to the beach and do the same strategy or a condo close to Raymond James stadium or whatever they call it now and cater to sports fans - know it would only be a few home games but anyways you definitely likely have more options than you did in Wichita.Congrats on the move and enjoy whats left of this beautiful winter weather down there and then button down the  hatch for Hurricane season...ha - I went through Wilma when I lived in Cape Coral and stayed in the house - was a cool experience and you'll get to laugh at all the Floridians that think high winds and rain are a big deal. 

Hi Susan and Kevin,I'm on this forum for exactly the same reason and about to start our company the coming weeks.Regarding Tax Liens, as I'm from Europe I followed the Cashflow Business Academy from Arpad and Adam:http://cashflow-business-academy.com/Their book also exists in English besides German and was very helpful.In the US I ordered Donna Bauer's Master Guide and had a brief contact with her, she is super friendly and seems very helpful to explain everything related to Notes.

We have a couple pro sports teams and lots of college action to enjoy.

Not all real estate investments are created equal, and real estate is not a one man sport.

Properties in German Village/Hilliard/Marble Cliff, was hoping to find reliable/inexpensive options nearby.

I follow the money and sports teams are money.

Not someone on BP going to give this  a shot for the first time.. with little to no experience other than reading a book and listening to a pod cast.J Scotts book is much more technical and I think is more germane..
