Honestly, I’d just think about it like you have a primary residence for a monthly fraction of what buying a single family would cost you.

Our economic reality is that the majority of Americans have no savings and only put aside a very small fraction of their paycheck in the belief that nothing really bad could possibly happen to them, that stability is an integral part of the society they live in.My own life experience has been that things can change drastically very, very quickly.A large part of that has been watching economic developments in the country of my birth, Greece, where I lived for seven years from 2000-2007 as an adult and got my start in residential renovation, From 2008 to the present day, I have watched the country transform into a begging pauper-state wholly in thrall to its financial overlords.

Martin uses filipino VAs managing his large portfolio (at a fraction of the cost of hiring a PM company).   

@Don Nguyen 1-4 NOO rental financing is still very fractionalized.  

And keep in mind, this is only a fraction of the worldwide liquidity injection.

Lending maybe a viable option at this time, or maybe even as a long term solution but only for some fraction of your funds.

The owner is only getting a fraction of that money and their unit is high traffic (Getting beat up.) 

I'm not sure it would be worth doing that just to save a fraction of a percent.

To me a 'good tenant' doesn't fall behind on their rent, they may just be late a month here or there, not pay a small fraction of the rent.When I come across a situation when someone can't pay their entire rent balance, I start the eviction process and enter into a court ordered stipulation.

I don’t think anyone in their right mind would say you paid $47k more than the assessed value (which means nothing in many states as it’s only meant to be a small fraction of true value in places like Las Vegas) and the land went up $80k (from $50k to $130k) while the building went down in value $30k (from $200k to $170k).
