Great book, one that I read when I first started my career.

I now work in the field of tax benefits and cash flow for owners of commercial properties and residential rentals for purchases of $250K to over $2.5 Billion. 

I had a pretty successful career doing that and made good money but, it was not my passion, I love real estate and everything about it the good and the bad.

Most successful real estate investors could have excelled in a number of other fields.

although keep in mind this narrows the field of buyers quite a bit.. 

I’ve even seen a friend in Austin organize a simple field trip to another city..from what I’ve heard that kind of trip can spark interest in fresh markets.

Throughout my career as a real estate investor and CEO, I have learned valuable lessons on maximizing the potential of each unit in a property.

To name a few: lawn mowing business, marketing agency, video production company, acting career, window washing, SEO services, improv comedy, music production, painting, drawing, guitar, blogging, and photography.

The early portion of my career was buying turnkey rentals, like the one you described. 

That's probably why BP bought Left Field Investing to create PassivePockets.
