https://sports.bovada.lv/boxing/floyd-mayweather-c...Say a guy, through his rentals and property ownership, has been able to accumulate about $20k in expendable money (don't need it to live off, it's building toward the next down payment).Place $20k bet on Mayweather winning the fight, win $4,444 if this scenario comes true.Hedge by placing $1,367 on McGregor winning, win $4,442.75 if this scenario comes true.So, for a total investment of $21,367, by Monday, I'll get a "guaranteed" (both must fight for action) $4,444, or about 20.8% return on investment with no risk and weekend worth of investment timeline.What am I missing?  

It is a ton of work to build ground up, and I think if you are going to expend all that energy and time to build, try to build something bigger.Cost to build is very high if you don't own land.  

your only entitle to funds expended to keep the property safe.. and a new kitchen and bath rooms and paint carpet is not included. when I was buying sherrif sales in Atlanta in 2012   its once a month there.. it takes a team to cover them all... 6 or 7 criers show up.. and they come between 10 and 2 or so... and they all start crying at the same time.. talk about a circus

Since I got into the agents game in order to expend my network the brick and mortar model of KW prevailed.

You can expend a lot of energy finding something that works in those areas.  

@Brian Mittelstadt as far as I know Dallas expends to the north towards Frisco/Allen/McKinney

Once complete, every dollar expended is paid back leaving the profit, and that is divided as per the agreed upon percentage... and repeat...

Some get paid when it's vacant, and if they are in charge of collections then they get late fees as they have to expend extra effort to get the money.Do some reading, check out books from the library on land lording and read them.

Before I expend ANY effort at all I analyze relationship value and odds of finding what the client wants.

It's hard to keep that fact straight when you are expending time, money and mental/emotional energy (because, let's face it, when we think we have a deal, we get excited!
