Plenty of people invest remotely, and as long as you have modest expectations (not chasing the highest possible yield), and are using light leverage, and don't get suckered into buying in a part of town that you wouldn't feel comfortable visiting in broad daylight, plenty of people do this and do... fine.

The bonus is the lots are worth $300K, which I will build a 10 to 16  plex on when ever I feel like it. 

But, these broad market studies are so large, they are almost meaningless, in the real world.Between glut of new supply in many "hot" markets coming online, a continually softening economic outlook, inflation over last couple years making day to day items feel cost prohibitive, many average renters are strapped and seeking lower cost housing.  

Because you can assume no Section 8 tenant has good credit, my leasing decisions had more to do with meeting each tenant myself to get a gut feeling based on their communicativeness, timeliness to showing, what questions they asked, whether they looked me in the eyes or avoided eye contact, etc.The downside of section 8 was the annual, then bi-annual, inspections.

I suppose you could say I was complaining that the barrier to entry feels higher than it should be, but your reponse didn't necessarily touch on that.As for the cashflow points you made, sure I could just not care about cashflow in lieu of the equity and appreciation over the years, but the idea that an HVAC replacement negating any cashflow made is kinda my point about the conditions of the market.
