Chasing cashflow with rentals in retirement is more just buying yourself a job.  

Sounds like you put in a Bonafide game player but no worries, they suck at the game.

My primary residence is debt free as is my rental property-- the thought is the rental will supplement the retirement income and I'm not chasing ROI/ COCr / vacancies / etc.Thanks for the welcome! 

Imagine having getting 150,000 points intro bonus for spending 6k in 6 months for Amex or Chase for example.

As noted, it keeps capital available to replace the HVAC, when it goes out in your first month of ownership, or the roof starts leaking and you are chasing an unknown source to the tune of thousands of dollars.  

I've realized that chasing cash flow in these types of markets doesn't build wealth. 

What you are chasing is time freedom - the ability to do what you want when you want because you have the foundation financially to do so.

It usually comes from people who have made 10-20 calls and have tried calling the big 5 (BOA, Chase, Citi, Wells, and Indymac) and not smaller regional banks with no place to go.Recently we just got in a list of assets in MN from a bank with 25 locations and a bank in OH sent me their entire list of assets for sale.

I was able to drive the property a couple of days later, and I realized no i should not chase a rezone, and actually property similar to this will be removed from my list. 

You want to make both parties happy.Most wholesalers fail because they are chasing the spread (their money) and not focused on helping the seller and providing a win-win for the buyer.
