You're informed, understand the cost of insurance, and have analyzed the risk / reward. 

It’s a bit of “high risk, high reward” thinking.

All you need to really do is plug in and deliver value and rewards come back 10x over!

U understand the 70% minus rehab costs those numbers have been going around for a long time.. its pretty tough out there right now but hopefully you can make it work.. although I always wonder why those that want to sell real estate  ( that is what your doing at the end of the day bringing a buyer and seller together) why you dont just get in the game with a license and make a career of it.. if your any good at sales and can stick to it can be a very rewarding occupation.. wholesalers they dont last very long unless they are very well capitalized and vertically integrated. 

So as a 'reward' for tenants being good, I paid to have professionals go steam clean the carpet twice a year.

These are individuals who are already conditioned to take on greater risk with the hope of a higher reward outcomes and will be attracted to the potential of syndicating real estate deals.Despite the greater risks associated with their current professions, I am sure most if not all are involved in businesses with  greater than a 2-3% success rate.

I am hoping to learn a lot from the members here as well as build lasting and rewarding relationships.

The way I see it is increased risk but no increased reward.

If you’re focused on building capital quickly while you’re young, flipping properties could be your main strategy for now, with rental properties as part of a longer-term plan to balance risk and reward.

Risk reward consideration.
