There’s something incredibly rewarding about creating spaces that positively impact people’s lives.  

That was not as rewarding experience as the first responder.

**Risk and Reward** - If the engineer or developer is assuming some risk (such as project financing, delays, or cost overruns), their higher percentage may be justified

Or are you just too immersed in consumerism to understand investment and what a risk/reward model looks like.

@Sebastian Tamburro you're going to get advice/offers from numerous people trying to profit off you - be careful!

Sometimes it's ambiguous, but even then, why should I bother with the company that has numerous unresolved lawsuits, versus another company that is virtually the same but has none.

Suffer through and you'll eventually be rewarded.

Plus the rewards certainly outweigh this cost.

The finished product and getting the rewards from the fruit of the labor is way down the line.

I do not have my numbers as well organized as @Greg Scott but my estimate is upper 20% annual return on average.The 3 i am currently invested in, one seems likely to produce an outstanding return (High risk, high reward), one is conservative and is performing to projections, and one i have significant concerns about but has not had a capital call.
