This business can be very satisfying and rewarding financially and anyone can do it with the proper determination, experience, skills and knowledge.

Re: off season, I use the old tried-and-true of lowering your price :p  I typically set mine at/near the lowest I'm willing to accept and take what I get (I don't go too low because after a certain point the risk/reward doesn't pay off).  

It’s a rewarding journey if you can decode it. 

Be an innovator not a copy cat and reap the rewards, or endure the failures.

Do they have a great rewards program?

I think you have to look at the risk vs reward and see if that fits in with your strategy or not. 

I received 6 new personal cards in total, I will list them out here plus the final limits that F&G was able to negotiate:Capital One Quicksilver - $2,000American Express Everyday - $6,000Wells Fargo Platinum Visa - $2,500Bank of the Ozarks - $7,000Chase Freedom Unlimited - $7,900SunTrust Cash Rewards - $8,5000So in total F&G obtained $33,900 in personal credit for me.

I like growing fast which means more risk but much richer rewards.

As a property manager for a few years now I can say that:1) it's incredibly rewarding and one of the best feelings is to take a problem property with problem tenants and turn them around and make them into a profitable venture (I've been doing that for a decade with foreclosures so it's much the same to do it for investors).2) I have fired clients over the years...when my office is disrupted and angry emails and calls are coming in OR when I have come to the conclusion that an owner doesn't feel we are worth the value (and in turn we don't feel they are worth the effort to calm down and constantly smooth feathers) then we respectfully part ways. 

To much risk and not enough reward.
