Korean American, I hear the same kind of talk even now as I'm investing as much as I can into real estate while holding my regular job.  

I welcome any excuse to blow off the mandatory parents meeting for my kids sports team!

The average American watches reality TV and follows sports and Hollywood actors and the actors/athletes receives part of the average American's paycheck.

That is really discouraging because it puts my goal of quitting my job out even further.With the demands of 3 kids (2 in sports), 1.5 hour commute each day, and my current job, I'm having a really hard time fitting in starting a new career and business.

It's already been mentioned that it depends on the asset class which sport we go to in order to understand the park we are in.

This is Brad from New Jersey & I'm excited to not only join but learn from the BiggerPockets community.My career has been in sports business but I have always envisioned my future as a real estate entrepreneur and now I'm finally taking that leap of faith!

The land is worth over $8M and I have signed agreements from national and regional restaurants, retailers, and sport venues to be tenants with strong financials. 

I recently heard an analyst say this about the Denver housing market: it has 10% more growth before it will catch up with other city's in the US with the same demographics (population, # of sports teams, # of colleges etc.)

Our primary focus was to make the shopping center focused on active living. to that extent, we had a gym, physical therapy and physician, a great sports grill & bar, and other companies who's business dealt with active living.

Soap Box ONOver time, most activities (e.g. businesses, sports, personal relationships, etc.) where judgement is involved, develop 'rules of thumb', 'short cuts', 'approximations', etc. which allow you to make 'quicker' decisions at the expense of less certainty; they will be wrong some of the time.
