There is parking pads in the rear of the house. 

The house was on a hill and there was no access from the rear, and the pool had to be dismantled by hand and carried by hand to the front street for removal.

You will never get to where you are going looking in the rear view mirror.

You will also need to consider how to access the hook-ups from the rear of the units (dryer vent hookup could be a pain since they usually are low - look into some of the ductwork alternatives at the big box hardware stores for some ideas here).

But its still work you still have to deal with tenants turn overs ... other things like that.. the most passive I see with folks that have some serious liquidity already IE been high w2 folks is notes.. those can be truly passive done right.. for the big hits  land development in path of progress is killer but risk/reward is the mantra there.2018 for us should be a nice year  probably close to 30 million in new home sales a few larger tracts bought and either flipped to lennar or Horton 150 to 200 lot tracks.. and our note business is in full maturity.. and it only took me 40 years to do all this... so all you youngsters out there have some patience.. 10 to 20k is nice but its not retirement when you start really living the investor life.. at least for me.
