I've been diving into real estate for a while now and always love meeting others who are navigating this crazy, but rewarding, journey.Looking forward to learning from everyone, swapping ideas, and hearing about different strategies you all are using.

That way I am rewarded but not using the business account as a piggy bank. 

Someone else may say its free money and let it ride, so invest it in something super high risk and high reward and if I win they I win but if I lose it all I lose it all. 

It's been my experience that the additional reward doesn't outweigh the additional work.

@Josh SalapareThere are some advantages to buying now and renting if the appreciation will reward you.

Working with Ron Rowan, we achieved a rewarding outcome on this well-planned investment.

Ultimately, Lawton could be appealing to cash-flow-focused investors comfortable with high-risk, high-reward environments and looking to leverage a reliable rental base tied to Fort Sill.

Buying multifamily is not about what the seller did but understanding what you can do and how much it will cost you do to it, then determining if the financial reward is worth the effort to undertake it.  

It's a risk-reward proposition and for us here in Columbus, I see a lot of saturation with STR, but we have very high demand for MTR so most of the properties in our portfolio wind up being mid terms. 

Yes, you read that right, the American system was designed to best facilitate FAILURE not success. because when there is freedom to FAIL, it comes from consumers ability to choose, choose who is worth it, who isnt, and the poor performers fail and the good performers are rewarded.
