building a real estate sales business can be quite rewarding for those that stick to it and work it. 

I made a bunch of mistakes but it has ultimately been extremely rewarding and allowed me to move back to CA with my wife continuing as a full-time mom.I'm still extremely active in the Detroit market, largely to my network and team.

There is a risk versus reward factor, a work versus reward factor, etc.

I started doing this recently and its be extremely rewarding.

The reason real estate is so lucrative is that it comes with risk, higher risk generally means higher reward.

I learned in business what I learned from BRRR's you get to take on all the risk, everyone else gets paid first, and you get the reward if there ever is one.

Small towns would be more possible but with the higher risk higher reward should be expected.

While the farmers sit back, tend to their crops and reap the rewards year in, year out.The successful buy and holders have created cash flow to operate their lives without the need to find something new.

Both of those options puts you in a better situation financially and leverage wise than total cash injection into one rental.Kind of like the saying "Do not keep all your eggs in one basket" is one way to think about the risk/reward.

What I am interested in is getting some insight into risk/reward for international investing, what concerns I should be addressing, what are the biggest issues tax/lending/renting you've run into so far.
