As such, I reward them with continued participation in the deal beyond what might be prudent on the surface. 

I know I have a weak spot sometimes for putting in 75% of the effort in exchange for 50% of the reward.

The higher the risk the higher the reward.

This can definitely be a scary but rewarding experience! 

The chase is what makes this so rewarding, at least for me.

Jacksonville to Honolulu you take the prize for longest distance between markets !!!

Shopping now for a credit card with cash back or other usable reward tied to it. 

And if you can be patient it will reward you greatly.

The indicators given were a historically high amount of equity in primary residences, employers using bonuses to reward employees vs. salary increases, and college students choosing STEM degrees vs. liberal arts degrees. 

I could get about $300 a month positive cash flow, and I own the property free and clear in 17 years.So I guess the real question is, besides rare circumstances like this - what would be a reasonable reward, payment, etc. to make it beneficial for me to dig someone out of a hole and make it worth their while to trust me for the next 15 years.
