More risk usually means more rewards.

I'm thinking more in terms of risk reward.

I've had buy and holds in 30310 and 30318 for the past 5 to 7 years and have seen my share of challenges with tenants, but have been rewarded with equity. 

Your MBA friend has went through several class to get his degree that have molded him in to think that if you play the stock market correctly it can be very rewarding and 34%, well thats seems impressive.

I am trying to pay that favor forward to other members.Real estate has a potential to be very rewarding, and for some, turnkey is one of their very limited options unless you are an Arron Mazrillo.

The view is purely subjective, how do you quantify a guaranteed 5% versus your "hypothetical," 6% yes there is a potential gain and loss each person will have to factor their own appetite for risk/reward to see if it's worth it for them personally.A loss of 50% in value requires a 100% gain just to break even, should anyone be subjecting their retirement to that risk?

Investors, whether in California or not, are looking for different objectives and each calculates risk and reward in his or her own way.

Find a really good local fix and flipper and fund their deals doing a JV this can be very rewarding financially of course just like picking a TK company caution must be taken.7.

It doesn't happen overnight and the little rewards you see in the first 5yrs will start to pay off in yrs 10-12. 

Reward them for their faithfulness.
