Buying discounted notes would get you there and be more sustainable, again, UNLESS you build and operate a hard money lending business (which can be sustainable), but less passive.

This is a pretty big, "they don't know what they are talking about" mark in my book and I discount their entire operation to null because of it.

Another is the management, typically provided by an operating company, frequently a franchisee.

@John K.Our lease (actually the schedule 'A' to our lease) identifies the tenant is responsible for any by-law infraction fines assessed as a consequence of their failure to fulfill their obligations and responsibilities (put out garbage, clear snow, or mow the lawn, having non-operable vehicles on the property, etc).When we receive such a fine from the City, we pay it and then send the the tenant a letter and invoice for the amount of the fine, plus an administrative fee to cover our bookkeepers time to issue and collect the invoice {though we typically waive the administration fee on first offences}.
