Thank you, looking forward to both the challenges and rewards REI has to offer.

You just have to consider your own appetite for risk vs. reward.

But in general:-in cash flow markets, rental is sometimes better than risk/reward of flipping.

You will invest far more time and effort than you will be rewarded for from just this property.

You need to look at your personal risk/reward factor. 

Albeit a challenging road ahead, but very rewarding.

The risk/reward remark you made is a reason why someone MIGHT buy those deals, see #1 from my post.

@Sean HaranInvesting in real estate can be a rewarding journey, especially when researching cities like Detroit and Tampa.

I want to know that first and foremost, and then we can have a conversation about what the right call is to make with respect to the underlying investment because I will trust the decision making of a GP with years of substantited experience and a few losses on the board over  th the novice who purports to have a perfect track record. nahhhh .... experienced GP Fund got hammered too because in their 15 holdings or so they use bridge loan and floating. there's almost no such thing as good and bad as it's 90% losing money in there when they are not using fixed debt. it's just simple math. the only way real estate could have better risk/reward is to have long term 10 years or so financing with fixed rate.

Some of our assets we are okay with poor returns.As we started looking at net worth the key benefit for us was looking at our Risk/reward by asset types.For comfort we wanted x years of cash equivalents available.
