She basically told me the same thing you said about the risk of REI investing being way too high for newbies to justify the reward and time spent.

Yes - it is far more work than a silent investor in a syndication... but I want the control, so find it personally more rewarding.  

You will reap the rewards.

Great post @Don Miller , we have spoken about this situation before and although frustrating the reward will be worth the wait.

Starting out in Section 8 housing may be a rewarding experience both financially and socially.Good luck!

Brett was his partner.You can't clean up your reputation by running away.Preston got to reap the rewards when the money was flowing at GEG.

But if you can find an investment that pushes out beyond the next 2 or 3 years into a  “different” financial environment you might have a better risk reward return. 

Investors who take a patient, forward-thinking approach can still reap substantial rewards.

If you have a perfect tenant that you really want to retain/reward, keep their rent 5% below market.

@Stephanie Jacobson it will only encourage and reward slumlords who don’t put a dime into their properties or properties they buy because they charge cheap rent.These properties usually become so untenable that they become vacant and boarded up.
