It would require a total shift in human nature. 

I would like to work out once or twice a week and I’d like to have the body of a cross fit trainer, however, if I don’t put in the work I won’t likely get the same results.Now there are hybrid ways of investing that give you much better returns than purely passive.

(60% investors - 40% principle) with a 3% acquisition fee to cover the cost and effort to organize the group and bring the project together.Jared - from your example; I calculate $1,200 preferred quarterly return to investors (8% / 4 x $60,000) or $4,800 yr.Leaving ($72,000 - $4,800) = $67,200 cash flow / year50% to investors = $33,600 and 50% to principle = $33,600That kind of return on equity (approx 60%) would get you off the "human rat wheel" quickly

b) anyone feel an experience human like a savvy realtor or property manager has better estimation skills.I have just started reaching out to Property Managers by the way...

Your Board or other Governing Body needs to have majority agreement on the steps to take.

It’s human nature to go there and want to spruce it up, redecorate, do deferred maintenance, etc, and that’s not really how I want to spend my vacation.If it’s driving distance, you can realistically visit 6+ times/year, and get to actually enjoy the place.

@Matt DevincenzoHi Matt, I’ve always been told that a government body cannot compensate for any structure that was not permitted.

Someone once said if you took all the money in the world and evenly distributed it to every human, within a few years the money would work itself back from those who were poor to those who were rich.
