I was surprised at how much is involved, but, at least I have one part of my business that can generate income risk-free, especially during times of uncertainty, while the other part of my business can focus on more risky aspects of REI.

The biggest risk is getting your numbers right... don’t buy a marginal property with $100 a month cash flow... find a strong property that will give you $300-$400.
