I am 27 years old born in KY, spent the last two years working at a resort in Florida getting into the hospitality industry.

I'm a self taught jazz piano player, and I have a semi-professional photography business in pet/people portraiture (people pay far more on their pets than they do themselves).

Well, yes I do, but I'd love to see a smaller player get that once in a lifetime chance!

I 'm married and have two lovely boys 8 and 10 ,  and a big fan of ski and traveled most of ski resorts in Europe..    

And I'm guessing that some pretty big players in the Seattle area will be willing to work with you, possibly in an intern-type position.And it's not inappropriate to seek a mentor on BP.

To me, the umbrella is almost the last resort, and also for peace of mind.

After getting your criteria, start comparing properties that are on market and off-market - your agent and lender will be your star players in this step!

How many are understanding potential Basel III implications on the mortgage market.Boiling things down into simple terms, think of the game monopoly, if the banker doubles the amount of money they have and gives it out to players, will players pay more for properties?

I would like some of my exit strategy homes to be in the mountainsaround a ski resort.

TLDR but monitoring for POVs of players in the arena.
