I believe that in this digital age, I can cherry pick the best markets in the nation and invest there, and I've read that many people are doing this successfully.

The paper bill is just a measurement of currency.

So you've just got to capture some equity on the front end, at lease 15%+, by buying from motivated sellers, buying distressed properties and rehabbing, etc.However, the guy with 4 houses owned in cash can also probably easily manage them, saving PM fees, whereas the guy with 4x to 5x as many leveraged houses either needs a PM (and will pay them 12-16%, including leasing fees) or will spend many many hours of their life dealing with all the houses.It's also a lot easier to find 4 great below-market deals than 16+.I also like the comment someone made that if they had sufficient capital to buy a portfolio of SFRs outright, they'd probably just be a private lender and capture double-digit returns on a much more time-leveraged basis with less risk and more stability in the income.

Well, I guess we did because most other people we knew were paying double digits in interest.

HML's typically charge 3-5 points, plus fees and mid double digit interest.
