They are one part of the story and does keeping the investment fit into the other dimensions of your life, meaning do you want to be a landlord and do you have time, energy and skills. 

Put your time and energy in somehwere else for more income.

Another idea I had was to just use standard research out there on building systems like the air conditioning, wiring, plumbing and so on, to estimate how much time they would normally take to require repairs.Here's a paper that discusses "energy modeling" for single family homes that is pretty recent that is an example of what I'm thinking of:https://www.mdpi.com/1996-1073/12/8/1537 

There are loads of other investors and free resources that you can find here as well.Real estate is not rocket science; don't be convinced that there are secret, magic bullet strategies that result in quick, short term wealth.

Putting your energy into house hacking and real estate can pave the way for a strong work path.Good luck!

Huge pain until I bit the bullet and got it fixed permanently.
