Have you ever been told that high risk = high returns? Banks and casinos love that myth.
YES, you can win a lot of money playing the lottery, but is the return on that risk worth it? The odds of winning the Powerball are about 300,000,000 to 1. To put this in perspective, a person has a 1-in-15,300 chance of getting struck by lightning over 80 years. In summary, you are 19,000 times more likely to be struck by lightning than winning the lottery. Yet, about half of Americans spend their hard-earned money on lottery tickets.
What Do the Wealthy Say About Risk and Return on Investment?
I hate taking the risk with my capital while others benefit!
In the financial world, many advisors take fees regardless of how well the investments they manage actually perform. They make money while clients and investors take the risk. It doesn’t have to be that way.
The wealthy do not gamble. They are very risk-averse. In fact, many of the same practices that got them to where they are today are the practices that keep them there. WEALTH RETENTION is paramount.
Warren Buffet’s #1 rule: don’t lose money.
If you did not learn the principles required to acquire such funds, you will be a poor steward of it and usually lose it. Take Lotto winners for example. They often lose their new wealth because they did not grow into it through the requisite steps, lessons and discipline.
Warren Buffet’s #2 rule: never forget rule #1.
Maximize Returns While Minimizing Risk with Smart Real Estate Investments
The best investments are ones that yield a good return with little risk. Look at banks, for example. They lend out other people’s money, so they are making a great return without their own capital being at risk. They are VERY careful about how much they lend out, to whom they lend it, and what it is being used for.
Learn from the wise institutional players. Get educated about the investments you are making, use conservative leverage, and mitigate all the risks you can. Whether you’re looking at real estate investments or other investment opportunities, strong and steady returns are attainable without taking big risks.

Real Estate Investments: Getting Your Money to Work for YOU
It’s time to stop losing your savings to single digit returns and inflation. Instead, acquire assets that make money for you. For example, cash flow from real estate investments can replace earned income and strong growth of your real estate portfolio builds your nest egg faster.
At Oak Street Assets, we help get your money working harder. This frees up your time sooner, so you can spend it when and where you want.
Many of our investors thought they wanted to be hands-on real estate investors until they realized how much time is involved. They realized that their time was better spent elsewhere and their money could be doing the work in real estate for them.
That is where we come in.
At Oak Street Assets, we source, vet and share great opportunities with our investors. This allows them to get the advantages of real estate investments without the time commitment. Our goal is to educate our investors and share great investment opportunities.
