Successful people prioritize the big payoffs and most rewarding tasks first, leaving the less significant ones last.

I am wondering what experienced investors/builders might think about the following investment scenarios (sort of passive income): Buy the right piece of land and build a five/six row of townhouses and rent them out (@1,500 sf/unit, maybe rent them @$1/sf or a bit more) Buy a beachfront property overseas and build a small resort (six luxury villas/bungalows) each with private plunge pool and stunning views (charge $350/$400/night)-option 1 is less risky than option 2 but rewards are considerably lower for option 1.

Had charm and possibilities.

Fearful of making a mistake that will be devastating to me and my family and I know that if I don't take risks, I may not get rewarded in this business.

When that goes well you can move towards the higher risk / higher reward stuff if you so choose.

This is something that’s new for me and no one in my family has dared to take on something as big and rewarding as investing in real estate. 

@Robert Peeples two different strategies, but both can be rewarding. 

I'm thinking it might be a good idea to run this by a loan officer who lives and works in charm city.
