For instance, I have a friend who has a portfolio of 5 properties (all of which he house-hacked); the total valuation is about $2.5 million...last year, his market saw 20% appreciation, meaning his net worth increased over half a million dollars in 12 months in just appreciation, and he didn't lift a finger.

Obi Wan must have been waving his fingers in front of your nose when you were constructing your response. 

My software has the ability to print customized letters, easily, and I may mention to the prospect that I will send my information in case he changes him mind, but it is better to move on to a better prospect before your fingers get stiff.

If you have a commercial property and paid $2m for it and without lifting a finger it appreciated at 3% (the rate has been muuuch higher) then you would have made $60k after one year.

All these leads are on autopilot coming into my inbox, and I do not lift a finger getting them.

I have never had a termination so far, fingers crossed.

Hey @Chris Seveney,I will be honest, we'd all love to be a passive investor and make all this money without lifting a finger, Right?!? 

Fingers crossed.3.
