Like I mentioned, I am a developer/rehabber so most of my expertise comes into that side of REI but I am quite experienced in all aspects of REI so I will try my best to give you the best answers I possibly can.

I have been managing every aspect of my parents' rental property business for over 15 years.

BUT, I see that point and believe it will be overshadowed by some more subtle aspects of the sharing economy.

We also developed feelings about what aspects of the business we liked best and which not so much.  

Maybe it is seen as "taking too much" or there is a technical aspect that makes it hard.

I don't know, I stopped wholesaling as a main aspect of my business model, I wholesale properties that I pick up but don't want to do anymore because I get better deals, so I am on the same boat asHow is the market down there in Jersey?

It is very easy to be soft hearted (or headed) when you have not fully engaged in the  negative aspects of our business.

@Scott Carrillo It sounds like you just need to find an investor friendly realtor that can handle the same aspects for way less. 

You could say I'm an idealist at heart, but I don't let my idealism carry me away from the practical aspects of investing.  

And if it doesn't fit find a different aspect you didn't know and try that.
