So when you need to go check on things, rent units, meet contractors, etc, you're jumping in the car for 6 hours, spending 1hr there, and I'm thinking after a full days's work. 

Option B who cares don't spend your time vetting deals for a premium put it in a CD or index fund and go make more money.  

My primary business is owning a wealth management company, and is where I enjoy spending my time.

Be prepared to spend a lot of money creating the infrastructure.  

To continue with the 8-unit example, you again end up spending many multiples of these costs to build a comparable portfolio of single family properties.Another disadvantage of single family properties is that there is only one tenant per building and if they stop paying or if there is a vacancy, the entire cost of that property is on you and your wallet until you can fill that vacancy and get the rent coming in again.

So basically $2M annually.So I could spend $200k and make $24,000 in a year, or I could spend $200k and make $2M in a year.

Spend some time considering how the repairs will get you a return on investment.
