I have seen some landlords pull up in a brand new sports car after just giving the tenant a rent increase.

Most would look at this real estate adventure that i've been on and wonder why I still do it, and honestly I give all of the credit to God and every sport that i've ever played because I just don't quit.

I am currently focused building out team and learning more from other BP members.Outside of investing in real estate I'm a big sports enthusiast, travel junkie, & lover of pizza.

Hi Dylan,You could go to W2 work for a year for an industry biggie, such as Greystar or Pinnacle (market rate properties) in Texas, (or where you are at now), for a year as a leasing agent and (boots on the ground) learn how to lease units, as well as get an understanding of how to be a first class property manager Learn things such as, how to handle maintenance, reports, people skills, evictions, cash flows, unit turns, problem residents, borderline qualifiers, flag flyers, parking disputes, physical confrontations, arguments, personal safety, etc....That would chunk out your 1st year requirement as well as put some money in your pocket while doing it.And if the economy nose dives, ride it out on the W2.Just my 2 cents.

That's part of any contact sport. 

I don't remember ever seeing a national bank or mortgage co or broker support youth sports or the arts or anything in my community.  

It also happens to be the best part of Downtown since the major sporting venues, convention center, live music, restaurants, and night life can all be found on the East Side.

I work for Accenture as a Consultant and spend my free time picking up new sports/hobbies (squash, bowling, darts) and helping others with personal finances.

You might look at some places that feature year round sports.

Proves that this game is a team sport!
