The trade-off is that the appreciation profit is locked in via the sales price agreed upon in the lease-purchase contract.Remember, no risk, no reward. 

If low income is done right then your return can be substantially higher & what's more rewarding then improving these neighborhoods.  

Then make the Note Re-Performing and have further exit strategies.I know it requires a lot more work, but seems the rewards are also well compensated.Still have more thoughts to unload but need to concise them :)  @Joe Gore @Mark Kemp  @Bob E. 

(Playing minor league baseball is not very financially rewarding).

Mortgage paper is like any other investment, the higher the risk or potential risk, the higher the reward.

I saw there was a citibank card for home depot rewards but it doesn't have a very good return.

Not as easy as it sounds - but it gets easier as you go along, I promise you that.This is a business that takes hard work to succeed, but is very rewarding.

But for my loyal long term tenants, I would redo their hardwood floors, upgrade their AC & Heat, Blinds, or any other amenities which would reward their timely deposited rent over the many years they stayed with me.My point, it is about building relationships.

Not very original, I know, but hopefully satisfying and rewarding none-the-less.I currently work full time (and then some!)

If you are seeking one on one, it must be in my opinion financially rewarding for both parties.
