Since I'm still in growth mode, I still want to work HARD to maximize returns and throw rocket fuel on the fire... but when I've got 10M net worth to throw around a lower yield for something more passive would be far more acceptable & it would probably coincide with a time in my life where I value comfort and time for others more than "the grind". 

I have a 13 unit under contract for a client right now that's at 1% rule rent to purchase and this was off MLS so not some crazy one off deal. in both these areas rents have been sky rocketing.

It’s definitely not rocket science.

@Corey Harlow I use Rocket lawyer for all my leases and eviction paperwork.

Don’t try to reinvent the wheel bro , this isn’t rocket surgery

This business is not rocket science, but it does take time to master.

Maybe take a look along the brown sands of texas or the carolinas, or small towns on florida's rocket coast.

@Jessica CurryTry the following low-cost alternatives: BiggerPockets podcasts and forums, local real estate meetups, the SEC filings of publicly-traded commercial real estate companies (REITs), and investing books from your public library.As an engineer who worked in the aerospace industry in the 1970s, real estate is not rocket science.

It still goes up, but it isn't the rocket ship it once was. 

@Haider Nazir hey Haider, I’m looking at doing the same thing and I was also told by Rocket Mortgage (Quicken) that as a first time home buyer, I cannot use the projected rental income to qualify.
