I used to be a very active member, but I got tired of hearing  "find your why", "leave it to the pros", "build a team" etc. 

So 20 years before, when the tenant was 70, some guy bought it, expecting the tenant will drop dead soon, not such luck, sold it to the next guy who had it for 10 years, and  then he got tired of waiting as well.

Eventually I had enough money saved that I was able to buy 3 houses for cash in one year: a 2br/1ba 1000sf tired old rental for $37k; a 2br/1ba 1400sf home with several extra rooms for $46k from a court-ordered estate sale; and a 2br/1.5ba 1100sf repo I called the cat piss house for $37k (interestingly enough I have bought 5 houses for $37k, not sure why this number was successful).

Or they simply get tired of being on call with guests, 24/7 (yes, there are co-hosts and VA's, but that is another person to manage).We just took on a home that was previously owner-managed - it had tons of deferred maintenance and the calendar was 50% empty.

I am tired of acting as general contractor and managing renovations but we just took on a new partner that is taking over that role.

Would tax liens be a better vehicle for that?

-No garage for luxury vehicles.

Not that it is quite the same but my umbrella policy provider stopped covering vehicles in CA.  

You get returns on your equity AND the debt, which you can't do with a CD or any other vehicle. 

We had a crazy South African tour guide and a mechanic with a support vehicle follow us.
