Long term landlord approaching retirement looking to maximize income

We have increased our monthly rent to price ratio from your ~0.75% to 1.1% but the leverage ate up all the extra cash flow (even if the total return is likely higher).You could be a cash buyer and go from your one property to 20 and cash flow 20000/mo but you are still having to buy and manage 20 properties.You can do better on the total cash flow in other markets or rougher neighborhoods, but the story is similar: you are getting an extra ~25-35% in income for 20x the hassle.
