I find I can do well enough in real estate with old-fashioned on-market deals, or the occasional pocket listing from an agent, without having to deal with the properties or places that are experiencing turbulent personal problems. 

And they will occasionally do a "grab back" if for some reason the tenant's funds can't transfer to them. 

Once it’s rented though, there’s an occasional repair but not much to do normally. 

We have clients doing larger projects throughout the year with trusted GC's in our network and I don't have a problem following up occasionally to ensure that the work is quality and getting done in a timely manner.

Brick is always a plus, though they do occasionally require a tuck-point (I mean occasionally you get a brick that needs it, not that you need to do it on all of them occasionally).

I'm not saying there are nuggets on their occasionally, but I'd rather buy direct!

Hi, I occasionally have some RE scenarios come up and have always found these forums to be a wealth of information and full of individuals willings to lend their expertise and opinions.

And occasionally they will refinance one of these properties and take the cash to invest in the syndication. 

@Allen Wu, In my area municipalities will occasionally fine people for high grass, garbage around the property etc, but if that were to happen at one of my properties (which thankfully it hasn't), I would simply bill the fine back to the tenant.

I call them occasionally never knowing if I can find a new bird dog...
