I see multiple offers and above asking which I hear is starting to resemble pre 2008 crises.  

That's not to mention the tenant headaches and fact that you would need to stack up 50+ cheap units each cash flowing a few hundred a month (which looks high on a percentage basis) to start to get meaningful cash flow going, which very quickly starts to resemble earned income from a job more than passive income from investment.

This is why I never agree to anything that resembles RTO or even lease with option.
