pretty common reaction lol. the reality is that yes, investing does come with challenges. if you treat your investments like a business & really commit to being great at it, you will face far fewer challenges than the average mom and pop landlord. another reality of it is that the wealth-building power of RE, when done right, SERIOUSLY outweighs challenges like landlord/tenant issues. in life, find people who are doing what you want to be doing, and take advice from only them. block out the rest. 

If we propose a date at least a couple weeks in advance I would likely be able to block off the time before any lessons get scheduled.

I don't think you can get more rent by having a concrete driveway, and I don't believe it increases the value that much either.

With the computershare I could see the blocks of stocks that were purchased from 1999 to 2023.

i'm sure there would be a line around the block of investors wanting to buy the portfolio in one transaction with seller financing, so long as the terms are right. i'd look into it myself. but something to note: the copy and paste in a previous comment mentions 'to an owner-occupant.' does this mean those rules wouldn't apply if you're selling creatively to investors who will not occupy the homes?

I've also thought about biting the bullet and installing a concrete driveway so regardless of what floor I have I don't have to worry about as much mud getting tracked through the house by a future tenant.

The more I'm involved w/ larger investors who have been around the block, the more I understand why they're willing to take a lower return for less headache. 

The share certificates have on the back of them where you can transfer share ownership, WITHOUT a new signature/notary block to do so.
