Mentors are always a great asset, no matter if you're an athlete, a cook or a real estate investor,!

According to the agent owner really doesn't want the hassle, it's been really easy for him wih the athletes in there.  

It gives students better opportunities for extra curricular activities, scholarships, athletics, and in most cases (not all) academia.

I was fortunate enough to not have to take out any student loans for undergrad due to my athletic scholarship.

I know the sports coaches at the local college and we have only had female athletes in the house.

I've been a contractor in Chicago, Illinois for over 10 years and I've worked with a number of investors. 100% of them used hard money, pooled their money together, had their own money (business people, athletes, professionals, etc.), or had bank lines of credit.

An unexpected read that really stuck with me and continues to produce positive change in my life is Chris Bosh's new book, Letters to A Young Athlete.

That doesn't make them hard to understand (prof athlete contracts are generally 60 or more pages long) just that you need to break them down into their basics.

I'm on our local school board and they are developing a bond proposal for new athletic facilities, classroom additions, etc.  

If you decide to market to athletes, make sure the coach will back you up if their team members cause any trouble.
