The rest, as they say, is immaterial and perception, in my opinion.I've also been in the "professional working world" for 12 years, and I can honestly say that your college, to a recruiter, is like "oh, that's a good school" or "oh, i never heard of them" -- once you get the experience nobody gives a damn about your GPA or your school.

You would be hard pressed to find a more hands off easily accessible and available to anyone with cash and a willingness to educate yourself a little so that you could pass muster as a sophisticated investor as defined by the SEC.

But bigotry does not make negative perceptions any less of a handicap in this world.And how bad is the dropout stereotype going to be in 2030, when our OP here is in his late 20s?

Where as that buyer has another level of sophistication and 9 times out of 10 they will just buy a 50 to 100 unit MF> that leaves some of the hedge funds that are still buying these and let me tell you they will beat you up on price. 

If you have the cash and are at least sophisticated their are deals out there for you.

I'm looking forward to having another sophisticated investor nearby to learn from and work with :)I was thinking we begin our first meet-up midway through January on Wednesday the 14th.
