Certainly all of the above, particularly the hunt and the numbers, but I'd probably add that the satisfaction of finding the best team to delegate to in every particular location, meeting, identifying and verifying the pros from the mass idiots who lure investors to their financial graves, then knowing you can virtually play the numbers without ever having to set foot there again, there's just a well-oiled, smooth feeling to the whole infrastructure/mechanism you build there that's unbeatable for me.
