I also find it rewarding to talk CA investors with dumb landlord hubris off their suicide ledge.

RewardIt is your determination as to the risk taken and the resulting reward, such as cash flow.

The time spent versus financial reward was a bust.

Is my risk worth the reward?

Rehabbing is extremely rewarding work!

What a reward.

Risk - Reward and caution.

I do reward my contractor with a bonus when the job is finished as scheduled4) you need to carry vacant property insurance during rehab, I found it quite costly.

And then their are PPM type funds were you can invest in the PPM that then invests in TDs and Notes..... this could be an excellent way to learn as well as the PPM will have detailed information on the formation, risk ,reward etc of the particular note investments they are doing.Lastly most of the crowd funders are doing some sort of new originations and they have disclosure docs that you could learn from ... though you need to be accredited in most instances with these folks.. but you will find bigger funds that take non accrediteds.

Can anyone care to share some ideas on how to lower the risk (even if it means to lower the possible reward)?
