.$200,000 per year reward for doing not much other than putting a deal together.  

Rewards are directly related to your mastery of skills.

It seems the nature of this type of deal is high risk/reward.

Otherwise, I have used getting new reward credit cards for the signup bonus points (or cashback) for when I need to spend a large amount of $$$.

Look at current listings and then you can even push those.. this is the time for sellers to reap the rewards of taking the risk of investing and owning real estate..

I want to someone to help me build the whole picture, so I understand the risk/reward profile for each investment).Best of luck to you!!

It is just risk reward.

Unfortunately sounds like you got one that would fall in the 20%.consider the costs/risk/rewards on this and make a decision when you are in the right frame of mind.  

A person who has become successful in real estate has not done it by taking advantage of new people's time... you are WAY more likely to get screwed over when you sign up and pay money to some of these 'real estate success' programs that you can buy online.So, don't go into it thinking that they are out to use you... go into it giving 100% to find ways to save that Mentor's time and you will be rewarded with some awesome knowledge transfer. 

When going into a new market you need to understand the risk / reward of each neighborhood.
