You have an Ivy League institution (Alma mater!

I am not in the professional league here and neither I have any experience with real estate investment personally but I have just helped real estate agents and brokers and lenders in helping promoting their business and selling their listings online.

And then I saw it and realized I was completely out of my league.

Del Dotto is a different league vis a vi Gurism. 

He finishes law school in May at which time his lease ends (unfortunately he's not gonna be a real estate attorney) This place is in a great location with tons of potential for a great Airbnb property & ARV but definitely needs upgrades (close to college, hospital, airport, huge backyard w/ deck built around hot tub, a pond w waterfall, wood burning fire stove, etc) I personally know the homeowner from when he graduated w my brother & my dad was his hs baseball coach so I reached out to him and acted like I was interested in possibly renting it next if I couldn't find a place to buy first.

they are trespassing.on 2nd thought...couple of buddies and baseball bats...the cops won't do anything.

It's in League City. 

Ivy League.

We had fun but were totally out of our league.

I am unaware of laws that I must follow when entering the league of Real Estate, completely unaware and I thank you for bringing that to my attention.
