(Big screen box in the garbage) I used to golf with a fellow landlord who used his late fees for golf...

O had ~30% swing last year, that's "the" div king. 

Quote from @Travis Timmons: It's a great idea if you can swing it.

The quality of service from different providers (title companies, PMs, inspectors) swing so widely that the good ones exceed my expectations, and the bad ones make me wonder how they stay in business or why hasn’t got taken out by the FTC.

If you swing for the fences, don't be surprised if you strike out.

They have ghetto Class Ds in Texas and Philly, a REIT, working farms, an operating golf club, apartment complexes, cryptocurrency... it's almost like whenever a very hot prospect gets through all their different asset classes, they simply invent another one.

Building a sport court will run like $30 grand, but would increase your rental value. a 6bedroom 4 bath house with a sport court, hot tub, fire pit, mini golf, arcade etc. will most likely crush it because it's cool.

If you don't want to swing from one headache to the next, I would recommend that whatever rentals you purchase, come with existing management in place that has already proven to accomplish excellent numbers.

I lived in the Napa Valley for 10 years that was not bad :) Looks nice, we've got a lot of golf course communities like that out here in Northeast Ohio.

I've experienced swings where its 50% less cashflow than the prior month due to a month of multiple apartment turns all hitting at once versus a stabilized month.
