Someone with experience with visa holders being passive business owner and investor.

Once you see people just like yourself doing deals you will gain the confidence and stop playing computer real estate and get out in the field.

How has your experience been with them? 

like I said I was just playing devils advocate ..

I'm going to have to check out Pickelball soon, I used to really like playing tennis growing up but currently way too out of shape for that much running so Pickelball sounds pretty interesting!

Obviously a nip from a playful puppy is not going to affect the victim the same way as being attacked by multiple pit bulls.https://prckc.org/wp-content/uploads/Canine-Bite-Levels.pdf(there are no pit cats)Good Luck!

If you have experience with long-term holds on the northside and are willing to look at a couple of the deals I've analyzed and share your insights, I'd be very grateful.In the meantime, I'm starting to think creatively about other strategies - looking for off market deals, pooling funds with friends, etc.

I focus on long term appreciation plays. 

Markets are like playing fields. 

It is all based on the contacts and experience that you have to make your investment a success.
