Take pictures and measure your risk/reward.

I strongly believe risk and reward go hand in hand :) Good luck

Too many young investors want immediate rewards.

Fast solutions have slow problems, tie yourself up in getting cute and the reward is you get a property and risk is you lose it all.

The risks far outweigh the rewards.

Texas is one of the top states for house flipping, but it comes with challenges like fluctuating property values and renovation costs. If you've flipped properties in Texas, what have been your biggest lessons learned...

Home depot changed their rewards programs from mediocre to trash. 

It certainly isn't next to passive like LTR'S  can be.Vacation rentals can also be very rewarding and fun to own.

it is rewarding if you invest the time with not only the rental but the tenants.  

They legitimately feel that it would be amazing to sell to us.While everyone just turns off their brains, and work harder instead of smarter just for that illusion: "see I did so much work,  it has to mean I am closer to the reward", but sadly it is all it is an illusion.I rather work smarter, not harder and have whoever that is motivated, come and find me, instead of me chasing them.
