I've been hosting for over a year now and have two properties i run and have enjoyed it quite a bit.

The holding costs made me go way over budget.I still do the things I'm good (and fast) at and enjoy, but the rest gets farmed out to the pros.

There are plenty of agency built on the backbone of people that just enjoy running paid traffic.

I also really enjoy the combination of 1984 by George Orwell and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.

But in general I enjoy reading the comments from napper-extraordinaire @Steve Vaughan (and his thoughts on paying down properties), @Joe Splitrock, @Greg H., @JD Martin, @Greg M., and so many others. 

Full disclosure, if I do choose this route, then I will most likely get licensed and pursue a standard, if you will, real estate "retirement" career, along with a degree of hands on flipping, since I have the skill set for real estate, some of the skills and a real enjoyment of degrees of construction work (along with enough sense not to get into what is over my head), and genuinely enjoy almost all facets of real estate from birddogging to negotiation to design/redesign to marketing to selling.

When looking for bookkeepers I encourage my potential clients to look for someone that you will feel comfortable asking questions to,  who enjoys teaching along with doing the work. 

That was the one house flipping show I really enjoyed.
