I'm also the stereotypical soccer mom, literally.

But to drag you children to mass because its what the rest of the soccer moms do isnt faith, its social acceptance.

It cost $120 to play baseball in my town for 4 months, soccer is  $150, or $250 if you play both seasons.

It's an area that doesn't have the best rep (Parramore), HOWEVER, they are building the new Soccer Stadium nearby.

Whether its my clients down in MS that I funded over 200 buy and holds for .. ( not one dime out of their pocket I provide all the capital) to my fix and flippers that enjoy nice profits on the retail deals they do.. that's what I live for in my business life.but now I am off to my grand daughters soccer game.. that's cool

The 20 year old with a DUI that commutes 2 hours each day in his Firebird that he works on himself will pay more than the soccer mom with a Toyota with a clean record who takes it in for servicing every 10k miles.

Fast forward to today, his place is now square in the path of development sandwiched between the nationals stadium and soon to be constructed DC united soccer stadium.

If I'm going to play soccer, I'm researching the field, observing players in warmups, ensuring I'm in the best possible shape to be successful, etc.When it comes to investing, you have to ask yourself if you are going to have a cement foundation up to the standards required in the state of Florida, or if you're going to have a house of cards.

Who lives in the neighborhood (low income, worker bees or ritzy soccer moms with disposable cash)?

An example is a 2 unit I have under contract now -- 106,500, each unit renting for $600, tenants pay own utilities (almost unheard of in this part of maine -- maybe 1 out of 20 2 units pay own heat, 1 out of 50 3 units and ZERO 4 units and above) -- it only cash flows slightly but it's in a very desirable neighborhood, dead end street, only sfs and duplexes -- tenants are a state representative who just graduated from Colby College and a high school soccer coach - longer term, very neat, professional.
