but I've always hit a roadblock due to several reasons like low APYs, dicey processes, and high risk, etc.
Business instruments that sound more reasonable with fair profits for both parties offer high APY and high risk, and vice versa. There are no offers that are really what you want, if there are they usually don't last long.
You should change your way of thinking to be more rational before you fall into dangerous investment schemes that you are not aware of.
