As far as a risk/reward ratio, I am of the belief that an investor should have the opportunity to achieve a higher return in exchange for taking on more risk.

There's a lot to learn but if you put in the work it can be very rewarding.

Each choice has a risk/reward ratio that is driven by personal needs/fear and timeframe/financial goals.

Doing any updates or rehab yourself is always challenging but rewarding and I very much enjoy doing things myself.

REI is all about risk vs reward.

Personally, Austin does not have the risk reward for STR's that it did a few years ago IMO.

Reward them.  

Evaluating that risk/reward is key.

So, if you find yourself in a high-interest rate scenario, consider the benefits of paying a little extra towards your mortgage each month; the financial rewards will be well worth it in the long run.The APR describes the interest rate for a whole year (annualized), rather than just a monthly fee/rate.

The risk reward here is very low.
