Owners also want to pretend that it takes the same amount of time & expertise to manage any Class of property/tenant - when common sense dictates that lower-demographic properties/tenants have more tenant screening, maintenance and rent collection challenges (to name a few).Also, most owners really don't value their own time!

I do not want to pretend there are no risks, just want to know what my risks are. 

But no, speak nothing of this....... pretend all is a-ok.......
