Boring Buy and Hold Investors

Where are all my boring investors at? Does anyone else prefer good old buy-and-hold long-term rentals?

20-25% down, duplex, break even on cashflow in a promising area. That's what gets me excited. 

I've done major rehabs, owner financing, private money, partners, out-of-state investing, and Airbnb but still prefer the good ole long-term buy and hold. Even though they make less on paper. 

Am I the only one?

The silent majority. This is all I do. I buy consistently, but not aggressively. One small multi at a time. 

Low leverage, let time and inflation work their long term magic, keep the units occupied as much as possible. 

So simple, so hard to just… sacrifice to accumulate the cash, and sacrifice the ego to not chase the huge portfolios and massive leverage that can leave you at the mercy of the near-term market.
