Congrats on doing something that is working for you in your market.I see this exact same discussion in bodybuilding forums. 

Joining a gym will not garauntee you will become a bodybuilder or fitness champion.

Every living room has a theme, it can guy action movies, rock and roll, labrador retrievers, duck hunting, deer hunting, bodybuilding, western movies, etc.

I realize that to get good at anything (Mastery), whether bodybuilding or real estate, you have to put in the time in both quality and quantity.

I come from a bodybuilding background.

everybody wants to be a bodybuilder but nobody wants to lift heavy weight.

I can say from experience, it's the life shake-ups that afford the transformative moments, the BIG change times, and embracing the pain, like any pro-athlete or body-builder can share, it becomes a good pain, transformative pain, you learn to harness it and use it once break through fear of it. 

Keep in mind when i buy them i an 100% strictly going with a property manager, i dont want to manage anything, as i am extremely busy enough, with a fulltimejob, gf, and bodybuilding(naturally) 5 times a week, so i dont have time to collect rent, do repairs, etc.

I work nights at ThermoFisher Scientific as a Technician 2, as well as I am also into bodybuilding and powerlifting sports.
