If you want low, safe returns that are truly passive, invest in the stock market.  

note if we sell the primary residence, it is very likely we will not need mortgages to buy smaller rentals as we would use that mostly.Though I take your point on keeping it. our house was a new construction (3 years old) though so possibly low maintenance risk to keep for a rental. 

Personally I like keeping my properties that I know are successful and have low maintenance.

As you can tell marine the appraisal came back 40k low and I was so dumbfounded.  

One with low cash, one with some owner financing and a little less price. 

Great to meet you.We source from four primary suppliers: Lowe's, Home Depot, Floor & Decor, and Amazon.

The type of the neighborhoods where his properties were located didn't fit in with my plan but he did well and the purchase costs were low.

Focus on smaller single-family homes, condos with low HOA fees, or multi-family properties in these regions, and build a reliable local team of agents, property managers, and other professionals to ensure a smooth investing experience.

If I have the time after dinner to run to Lowe’s , and deliver material at 10pm, I didn’t have to ask if that’s ok.

Positive cash flow and low interest, i assume, long term loan is an enviable position that with time will produce larger cash flow.
