Something to consider with your own goals and risk/reward tolerance.

Once you have your system and network in place it can be very rewarding with minimal involvement thus freeing up time for whatever floats your boat. 

@Kevin Means Just run your numbers in the BP Calculators numerous times and have someone else review.

And that creates a whole new discussion along the risk/reward continuum that will be unique to each individual.  

No reason for them to take on that risk for zero reward.

The difference between these two numbers is that year’s net appreciation and principal debt payments less sales expenses and income taxes.The numerator of the formula is the property’s cash flow and increase in the equity for that year.

Hmmm, also another low cost high reward opportunity is to obtain your real estate license. 

My mentor always tells me, sacrifice now and reap the rewards in due time.

These are two different strategies with very different risk and reward profiles.Both strategies can be successfully done.
