Thank you @Michael Dumler that's really sound advice.

It sounds like the person above either wasn't ready, didn't put in the work needed, or is just another internet troll out to bash someone for no good reason.IM me if you have further questions about Matt Scott and I am more than happy to go over the good, the bad, and the ugly! 

That said, if managing sounds overwhelming or you’re strapped for time, hiring a property manager from the start is a perfectly valid option.

I'm sure you'll get differing opinions but this sounds more clean and simple to me.

It sounds more like you want to do work for a short time and have success without knowing much.

Smaller deals may sound "small" and yet they can provide a great deal of experience.4.

That all sounds horrific, but how do you inspect the property while at the auction? 

I think that is their largest single asset/stock allocation actually too. 100k sounds lofty.

No matter what you do I think you are going to have guests point out that something isn’t working which could lead to annoyance or requests for refunds or bad reviews.Plus, providing bottled water over the long term probably isn’t going to save you much money compared to paying a plumber to get the fridge connected. 

Does that mean that buying an investment property is not a fundamentally sounds investment, absolutely not.
