Can it be rewarding financially?  

I would suggest trying to find something that is 10% or better UNLESS you have another reason to buy it, like high equity or high reward in the future (transitioning area that will see high returns in the near future).2.

@Kenny HoangStarting a journey into real estate investing with a house hacking strategy within Sacramento may prove a rewarding venture.

If he doesn't want it or can't afford it, reward him with 60 days time to find another place, then find a new tenant that can pay what it is worth.

Hello Mark, Jumping into real estate can seem scary right at the forefront; however, it can also be one of the most rewarding experiences not only financially but also emotionally and mentally.

So it's hard to recommend markets without knowing what you prize most, appreciation or cashflow, and what rental model you prefer as well (i.e., LTR, STR, MTR, rent by the room, etc.).

It's a thrilling and rewarding world, but it can also be overwhelming for newcomers.

Keep your eyes on the prize, don't give up, and don't be hesitant to ask other professionals in the field for guidance and assistance. 

And I guess that's the biggest thing, all the bloated over-head they executed BUT same time, transferred who get's the "reward". 

There is of course a higher amount of money that is being invested, but as they say, high risk, high reward.”Please let me know on your opinions!
