How the Risk Balance Affects the Price I Can Pay

When evaluating properties and the offers I make it all comes down to this:

The more risk I have to take, the less I can pay you.

The less risk I have to take, the more I can pay you.

So, knowing that, as a property owner trying to buy my money with your property which route would you have me take?

The bottom line is I'm in this business to make a profit. If I can't make a profit there can be no deal. But that still leaves plenty of room as to how we can work together to meet both of our needs.
