Improving the lives of others can be more rewarding than the monetary payments.Question: how you approach investing with people in general?

When rates are too low investors will not make loans because the risk outweighs the return or reward.

Takes more time to set it up, but ultimately is more rewarding with the control that I have over the sales process.Do you have success with classifeid newspaper advertising?

But it's fun at times and rewarding too.

they think that laziness should be rewarded - that a homeowner who made financial mistakes (albeit possibly at the hands of a cut throat mort broker) should be coddled and have the butt wiped by their mommy - and "mommy" should be society at large.it's ridiculous.

What are your thoughts on the risks vs rewards?

Higher cash flow markets generally its not very easy to sell without a major marketing machine helping you IE turn key... were as here in PDX or Bay Area , Seattle Socal , And Denver.. you simply put it on MLS its sold in a matter of hours.. this is not the case in many other markets, exit can be tricky to very very difficult... the higher the 2 % rule or 3% rule the tougher it is to sell them as investors that want that risk reward asset want to pay what you did.. not 1% rule .

I discovered my couple of niches by first learning a bit about 3 or 4, so I would have those strategies in my tool belt, then focused on the 2 that made the most sense for my area and were most rewarding to me.  

I like the ones that treat investments like a portfolio and mix the risk/reward profiles.

If it was already there, then that's not much of a foresight capability to be rewarded on is it?
