Actually, hitting those up in nursing homes has draw backs, like compentancy, you need to volunteer at the library, the zoo, the humane society, the red cross or the literacy council.

@Rusty Thompson return is 2.3%, see that was my logic, if it's a 5 year loan and the interest would be paying yourself back, then i do not see what would be the drawback?

As you point out, there are also drawbacks and obligations.

The homeowners insurance is very high because its in a hurricane zone, thats the only draw back.

The drawback of buying HUD homes is they no longer pay any closing costs for investors and of course we (investors) pay all realtor commissions. 

The one drawback is that free delivery generally takes 10-15 days so you must plan your remodel/flip carefully.

The drawbacks of a small company is the lack of stability where a PM company can be a fly by night or doing shady things with contractors that would normally not happen in a big company with management oversight - with people just "working there".

It seems both SFR and multi have benefits and drawbacks.

While scouring the BP forums I have learned a lot on the benefits/drawbacks of being a licensed agent while also investing in real-estate.

I much prefer IRR or MIRR given this uncertainly despite its minor drawbacks.
