For example, a 10% return (or reward) can be worth the risk if you are investing in a Class A single-family rental in a great market with an A+ tenant, but not worth the risk at all if betting on a 16-seed to make it to the Final Four in March Madness.Investors in mortgage bonds utilize the risk-and-reward framework when allocating how to invest capital.

As I've said here in the forums in the past, I was part of the Home Depot Seeds program once, and I got thousands of dollars of merchandise every month to write about it.

If you offer extras, plant the seed here!

A seed that grew and honestly meant more than $200k would today.  

Even i only hear the negatives very often, i still see D class as opportunity zones, like where are you going to find properties under $40k and cash flow like you are right now.

Plant the seeds today, wait 7-12 years to see them season and mature.

(toilets/termites/tenants) It would decrease my time at work where I generate significant seed capital, and that lost opportunity cost would exceed the real estate profits at least in first 20 yrs of my career.

Remember with every rental purchased you are planting seeds for a tree that will mature to provide fruit forever.

It's definitely not a terrible idea to pay taxes on the seed versus the harvest, assuming you can afford that.
