@devonkennard owns a total of 14 properties himself and his involved in 16 others. However his very first deal was a partner deal with a former USC teammate for $12,000. He was able to get his 100% of his return but the most valuable lesson he says was ,"getting his feet wet and teaching him the game."⁣ ⁣ This is a great lesson, while Kennard could have invested a lot more money and got a much larger return, he had no problem playing the long game and making sure he was educated before taking the next step. Kennard minimized the risk while dipping his toes into a venture he was passionate and curious about. Athletes should take notes on the fact that it's okay to start small before you get into big investment⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #realestate #forbes #athletmoneymanagement #biggerpockets #blackerpockets #realestateinvesting #devonkennard #money #wealth #nfl #arizonacardinals #afrugalathlete
