Once you get a NNN tenant in a warehouse locked in for 5 years its very rewarding.

I know there are smarter ways financially, but accepting all risk and all reward for your ideas is how I roll.

I agree student housing can be challenging however strong rewards. 

Risk and rewards is what you need to evaluate.

I think I need to figure out risk vs reward and where we will best find our niche .. and also long term goals.  

If I am completely true to Dave Ramsey's Philosophy, it will take me at least six years to cash-flow a rental (based on my current budget, and a loose prediction of the future condo/TH prices in my area).Though I understand the risks of borrowing, I am too naive to know the rewards.

So far has worked like a charm.

It's a slow process, but very exciting to anticipate the buying of properties, but also very rewarding because you feel like you did it on your own and you sacrificed so many things in life to get to this point.

Just an observation I've made overall, though from a landlord perspective it does not affect me at all generally.I just dislike that the current environment rewards you for doing less and being more and more careless with your time and abilities and just leeching taxpayer money.

The reward and the satisfaction of donation beat giving $$$$ to attorneys anytime.
