Honestly, she enjoys the bookkeeping part of owning rentals, likes getting the checks and depositing, etc.

In that sense it is not a good investment.If you rent it on a weekly basis the 12 week season when the expenses are deducted if not a money maker.If you rent on a yearly basis, then there is no time for you to enjoy the property.

A business owner would delegate it and enjoy time with his/her family. :)
