Knowing how to monetize the opportunities is the rewards of all the bumps and bruises we exoerience along the way.

The risk seems to greatly outweigh the reward.

The brokers act like the seller is just a charitable individual.

If they can't provide you this, then you need to hedge risk vs. reward of your time looking further into the property. 1.

Bottom line, I feel if they are really good at their job, the should be treated with the utmost respect and rewarded for good work, but exclusivity shouldn't be required or demanded.

This keeps my family and i motivated to invest more but at the same time rewards us for the hard work.  

I personally feel like they would take a lot of risk for minimum reward. 

My initial interpretation is West Ward may be higher risk/higher reward for potential appreciation, but I'll be doing some more late night drives to get a better feel for some specific blocks.I do think all of Easton (& residually Phillipsburg for that matter) is headed in the right direction as long as this outbreak hasn't steered too many away from the urban "vibes" the area provides.

It was a rewarding and successful project.

Instead, we opened a can of worms that lead us through one of the most grueling and rewarding educations we had ever experienced.The outcome of that introduction was really 3-fold: 1) We were more determined than ever to succeed; 2) We appreciated the difference between theoretical, inspirational information versus practical, real-life information; and 3) We can be a greater service to ourselves, the community, and other investors, by providing responsible, intelligent and conscientious construction contracting and property management.We live and work in the city and understand its dynamics, so the majority of our business takes place there.
