Even the great Ray Lewis retired when he was 37; your career is winding down and based on what other ex-professional athletes have told me it's important to find a fulfilling profession after their playing days end (I knew a USC football player and he told me he and his fellow Trojans have a text thread and a lot of guys have trouble finding purpose in their lives after football ends - some of them never even played in the NFL and still felt incredibly lost after football).You have the capital and it sounds like you've done deals prior.

Mark, I have had very high profile renters over the years, everyone from athletes to rappers and equally low profile renters, I think it is irrelevant tattoos or no tattoos visible or not visible, all that matters is that the individual being reviewed is being equally presented the opportunity to qualify based on your common requirements outlining the financial likelihood of a successful occupancy, it is irrelevant how or who or what the tenant looks like, the only thing that matters is that it is a successful transaction from start to finish, concentrate on the financials not the esthetics of the individual :) Happy Investing!

That's where you will find all the athletes.

I have a very exclusive network, mainly professional athletes looking to invest.

Now if you have great eye sight and are very athletic you might have the skills to go for the $100...no problem.
