Works like a charm, very easy.  

Hi Christina,Developing real estate can be rewarding, but it does take a significant amount of time and financial investment before you'll receive any return on the investment.   

Risks and rewards are very different for each. 

This is about reward versus risk.

I know that real estate investing can be both rewarding and challenging, and I want to make sure that I'm learning from the mistakes and successes of others.So, my question to you all is this: what are some of the biggest mistakes you made as a new real estate investor, and how did you learn from them?

If the population and median income of the neighborhood is growing, you may only have to wait a few years to begin reaping rewards that are well worth your time.

Learning curves are sometimes hard but rewarding.

Also you can consider putting larger trim pieces in place and shutters if you want to add some charm.

The risk vs the reward makes sense to me.

I've considered it, and have seen it from others, out of country can be OK, but I see the risk higher than the reward.
