Alternatively, concentrate on a more passive role.

Concentrated bleach, a garden hose, and a scrub brush made quick work of the mold on the concrete.

I told my daughter there is one word she should be concentrating on and that is :LISTINGS  LISTINGS = MONEY    representing buyers pretty tough.. but she does have 3 in pending where her buyers were successful but i had to pull out our big tool box to give her all the tricks we have used over the years to get in first position.and just glad i bought 18 months ago..

But remember to only concentrate on one thing at a time.

My properties are concentrated around Gravios park, but I'm looking to expand into better class neighborhoods. 

I suggest a good dose of C combined with B (cause that's inevitable).Just concentrate on #9 and #10 - real estate investing is a long game (at least IMHO).

Concentrate on investing in multi unit purpose built B class properties.

I have been concentrating on buy-and-hold rental properties in more rural areas of North Florida and, to a lesser extent, the Ft Lauderdale area and I've seen the same thing:  Prices have risen more quickly than rents to an extent that it is difficult to find properties with the right fundamentals.  

I do almost all of my maintenance and what I don't do I have long-term business partners handle according to my specifications -- lasting fixes when necessary, high-quality paint that can be touched up repeatedly, Whirlpool appliances, hardwood and tile I do myself.I am on the electrical board and the outlets, I am on the roof, I am inspecting the windows, I am on the gutters all the time, I am liberal with the weedkiller concentrate, saving myself money in the long run wherever I can.What happens when you're extended from here to eternity with 75 SFR and three furnaces die in the first heavy cold snap?

Probably because it attracts the poorest people in high concentrations.
