I think your asking the right questions... spend some time digesting some Kiyosaki, get creative and remember this is NOT a individual sport, rather a team effort.

The way to make it less annoying is to gamble (like a dollar) with your family for which property the wholesaler wants before opening the mail.

It is not gambling per se, there are real wells with real chances of finding oil, but it is not another class B multifamily value play for sure.   

However, it's still the closest thing to "Vegas" on the east and seems to be pivoting towards an event/vacation driven economy. iE hosting concerts, conventions, sports tournaments, amateur fights, ect.What are we missing here?

You are looking at a extreamly high risk gamble regardless of your past experience.

I don't mind putting time and effort into it I just want more time with my kids, I want to be with them on holidays and to put them to bed every night and attend all the sports.

It is a cash intensive sport, and I ended up bringing on a partner so as to be adequately capitalized.

Some people hedge their bets, and go 50/50 fixed/variable (or some other ratio according to their best gambling/research beliefs, but then focus on paying one down quicker than the other once rates actually change). 

Can’t say the same thing is true for SFH since it’s more of a solo competitive sport.
