It’s been rewarding to follow the progress and see how private capital helps bring a property back to market.

Option 1 - pay off debt and earn 8.75% returnOption 2 - buy another property and earn X.X%Option 3 - invest in stock market and earn 8-10% (non-starter...more risk and same return as Option 1)Return for option 2 vs 8.75% is your reward for executing option 2.
