If you train them right,  they will make your life a whole lot easier! 

Same can be said for the real estate market, the billion dollar industry of forums, books and training has propped up real estate by investors and institutions that resemble an overvalued stock that is not inline with incomes.250k in the S&P 500 10 years ago would be 900k today with no effort.

You can further mitigate risks with items like a home warranty, sewer line warranty, etc that will cover big ticket items.

It does depend on who you get trained by though.

@David Roy GriffinBeen in the call center industry for 16 years holding different executive positions (even in the Philippines), so I can tell you this is not a good option for a number of reasons.1. 1,000 names will never bill enough to cover the call centers "hard costs" (training time, dev time, QA, overhead).

Or would this train of thought seem totally not realistic and it is simply better to save the time and offload it to the property management firm as a whole?

Basically was trained that the play was to break even and make your money on the appreciation and loan pay down.  

I do free live trainings on thursday.

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

Remember your first bike ride without training wheels?
