Just wanted to introduce myself a little as i have read through this site many times and decided to finally make a jump in my life and start investing in real estate.My name is Carlos and i play professional baseball for the Boston Red Sox organization. i am currently in high-A(minor leagues) for the Red Sox and after signing for a decent bonus, i have been sitting and slowly losing money sooooo it's time for me to make a real investment. i am 22 years old and have a bachelors degree in business administration, just as a back up plan, if baseball doesnt work out...Because my situation is pretty unique for a lot of people, i am constantly moving and dont have a true "permanent" residence since im in season 7 month of the year and then "home" 5 months.

@Andrew BoettcherLearning OTJ is tough, but the lessons seem to be permanently learned.

Once you get to know the city better, you can always buy a second house that will become your permanent home and then rent out both units in the first home.  

I have gotten the property taxes cut to less than 1/10th of what they were on a permanent basis.

Then think, "If the worst happens, how is it going to affect me permanently on a scale of 1 to 10". 10 being something that permanently scars you for life and is impossible to recover from.

Yes, I use a combination of laptop, tablet and phablet to connect with my data worldwide.In using these systems, there is no duplication of effort to record, then revisit the data to enter it permanently.

To go dancing in the streets because a handful of companies have said they will allow permanent WFH is an over reaction.

They are not a permanent fixture.

Definitely, I just don't like debt that is permanent if that makes sense, If I don't want a property I can sell it. student loans on the other hand are forever they'll never go away even if you go bankrupt.

This would give me the ability to solidify the foundation permanently for the entire property.
