My $2000 also covers stuff that inevitably break under normal use - I had to replace a washer $700, a stove $600, a microwave $100, and a grill $400, all  within last 2 years, and paid close to $1000 for various service calls by electricians and HVAC techs and pest control. 

I have a local handyman that helped me hired junk removal company and pest control for the roaches.

If the stock market goes on a roller coaster ride you have no control.

With the purchase option Bob has total control doesn't he. 

- Controlling costs for payroll processing, unemployment charges, workman's comp and liability insurance- Coordinating ServiceTech & tenant schedules for appointments--- There are several industry vendors that focus on just this!

A savvy buyer however would not do any due diligence until they have control of the property. 

Once you invest in a fund, you've relinquished the single most important control valve you have: determining what investments your hard-earned capital goes towards acquiring.

Change orders are going to happen, but by needing approval from you before they move forward, this allows you to control expenses better and/or make adjustments in the SOW so that you can stay on track and on budget.

The answer is relatively simple, it's landlord fatigue.  

Owners who prioritize full control of their future profits or plan to sell soon may not find this appealing.
