First, there are so many different strategies (each with their own different risk/reward) that there is no one single answer.

What is great about finding people to help you build your business is that the more you reward them the more they will likely contribute.

It is important for investors to understand that each class of property represents a different level of risk and reward.

From my perspective if the property is empty they are not going to be rewarded for that they should work to find and keep good tenants.
