Partly for the strong casflow that we enjoy after 30+ years investing along with other reasons.I would probably not buy additional property all cash, but improvements and betterments will be paid in cash or at least quickly.Leverage is a great tool when used properly. 

For the properties where I do use my property manager,  I have to admit that I enjoy that those properties are very passive and I couldn’t even tell you what my tenant looks like if I passed them on the street I just collect a check every month which is very nice.

My take after well over 20 years of investing in real estate is that if you want to continue to enjoy a great and profitable career and also have a life, that you consider taking @Jim Pfeifer's advice.

Often even without self-sustainability test, these FHA buyers were finding themselves in nicer properties with their portion of the payment being less than rent and they OWNED the property (so they got to enjoy tax benefits, appreciation etc.). 

@John Fields if seller will agree to escrow agreement of 2x the estimated repair costs in escrow and state clearly how you access those funds, that may work if your lender allows.

We typically use a company called lres who just changed their name - we have enjoyed working with them
