It would take you about 3 to 4 years to reap any rewards from that off the losses.

I see this as my avenue to expanding, even if it means a smaller reward.

Most of the answers thus far have focused on the reward side of the equation. 

Perhaps give them some flyers to post somewhere in the dorm lobbies about your Summer vacancies prior to the end of the school year.I would suggest a donation to the club for their support, or perhaps a reward for the individual students that help you.

And some lucky kids will have him as a silly Dad someday.As someone who never planned on having kids, it's been a very entertaining and rewarding journey thus far, despite the weight of the responsibility {they absorb everything we say and do}.Our little guy loves to walk properties and learned the association between a house and realtor sign very young - though he thinks he can stop and "visit" one of these houses whenever he chooses.I am currently working on a deal to acquire an apartment building and trying to find solutions that reduce the Vendors tax liability, so there have been lots of spreadsheets open on the computer monitor recently.

It's a risk/reward game.

The B/C types seem to be the balance of risk and reward.

After assembling an incredible team to help individuals with this product, it is very rewarding to be able to contribute to his space and help future homeowners seeking to take advantage of this renovaiton product, you want to make sure they have a fighting chance at a good and positive experience.

Real Estate can be tricky but quite rewarding once you have established yourself.I know Markwest is a big oil company in PA and they have alot of work done in PA.
