What is your investment FEAR FACTOR? You have $10,000 to invest, there's a 5% chance that you could lose 10% or a 70% chance you could earn a 25% return in 18 months. How much of it will you risk?

Kevin, those odd are pretty good actually. You didn't mention what the other 20% was.

I am at an age where I want low risk so I would probably risk $3,000.

Kevin,

I don't know why no one is giving you a straight answer. I am all in on that $10,000, since we usually do our homeword.

Most successful real estate professionals make plenty of costly mistakes. You need to have reserves when you are taking risks.

It could be anywhere from a maximum $1,000 loss up to a $2,500 gain. To calculate the "FEAR FACTOR", which is somewhere in there, I need more raw data.

I am looking for a dollar amount between $0.00 and $10,000.00 in your answers and promise unequivocally that no solicitation is involved. In fact I expected to see anonymous answers flow into my statististical data inquiry. I for one would be all in at $10,000. How about you?

Since we're most comfortable in Real Estate let's use that as our investment vehicle Gabe Sanders. With these known variables what amount of your $10K, if any, would you commit to?

Given that there is "risk" in all investing Roy, is there a number you feel comfortable to put into play? This is somewhat like my end of year Economic Sate of the Union test.
