sounds like you have a good rate on your mortgage and refinancing would ruin that. we need some more numbers, actually a lot more numbers to really tell you. 

When life throw your curve balls or wonderful opportunities, you won't have to miss them if you are financially free from your rental property cash-flow (I say this from experience, as I travelled Europe w/my wife and 9 month old last year and we spent months away supporting my dad who got diagnosed w/cancer). 3) Relationships: Lots of people are willing to help (that don't know how). 

You will definitely ruin your relationship with your buyers when they perform their due diligence and discover that the property you are marketing is on Zillow, MLS, Redfin etc. the value that wholesalers bring is finding properties that are off market that the buyer wouldnt have found without the wholesaler.

So all you gotta do to be correct Ricky is either kill 30million + people tomorrow, get the entire housing industry, all it's labor forces and every manufacturer of 4,000+ items and distributors to lower prices 20%+, OR have 500% the number of foreclosures in 08/09 which is only something like 70% of all owned real estate in the entire US so yeah...... good luck with that, may as well do some easier tasks along the way like cure cancer. 

Homes get updated throughout the years and if properly maintained, can last as long as people are willing to spend money on upgrading the property.Watch out for condos, as @Nathan G. stated, special assessments and HOA rules changes can happen on the fly and ruin your plans pretty quickly.

Inspections ruin my life :/.

Fu*k all the a$$holes trying to ruin it with scams.

yeah, you may be able to pretend for a little while that you're away from society pressures, but when the property tax bill arrives it ruins the whole thing for me.

Be careful.Medical bankruptcy (someone gets really sick like cancer) I think deserves to be looked at seriously as far as helping them rebuild their history.

Tampa has the major sports franchises, universities, world renowned medical communities like Moffitt Cancer - so it has the draw - as well as the proximity to the beaches, Orlando, more.Managing properties remotely is commonplace and the traditional PM model is just costly and outdated.
