The traders? 

The great billionaire market trader Paul Tudor Jones talks about a 5:1 risk/reward ratio.

So in time* Iv been a stock and ETF trader since I was 18 and buying bits of gold and silver for a back up if ever there was a down fall in my life.

Real economic productivity is NOT a day trader buying and selling stocks.

It would be like a day trader in a raging bull market thinking they know trading.And I'm not sure I want to stay here, and we absolutely stunk as remote residential landlords - our rent is well below market and the place was damaged.What else should I be considering?

I am an options trader, decent with numbers and get 20% cash on cash with non-directional, non-speculative options trading with consistency for the last 5+ years.Deal: This is the current property under contract:https://www.redfin.com/MD/Bethesda/9825-Old-George...The property has appraised for $835k as a tear down in the recent past, so purchase price seems like a good deal.

I hold an MBA from Hofstra University and was a trader of financial and commodity derivatives in London, Houston and Amsterdam.I am really more a buy and hold REI.

I'll give you a bit of context to work with: I am currently taking the mandatory 7 week course to become certified to trade real estate as a realtor in my province, Alberta, Canada.

Being an experienced trader, my first instinct is to control risks and limit downside.

In 2008 (also early 2009), some astute traders bet on the housing crash and made huge returns: 600%, 1000% etc. as I heard.
