It is possible, however, in many cases, a particular complex may be master metered and the average rent in the area does not compensate for that expense.

Landlords had too much power, and the limits were enforced by the courts.Our constitutional protections against government taking control over our property without just compensation have been violated.

When you take the price + repairs you're so close to retail value that there's not enough meat left over to compensate your time and risk.

People deserve to be compensated for their work and any risk that they take.If the politicians go after flippers what is to say they will not go after BRRRR investors next or even turnkey rental property providers? 

However, unless you can visit your OOS market twice per month or so, I think it's imperative to have someone with boots on the ground that is compensated for performance or is an equity partner in your business or deals.

@Joe Vairo If you represented the sellers, did you get compensated?

I would have told them to either put you higher on the list or compensate you for having another company do the work.

I think I would contact the entity who prosecuted him for RE Fraud and ask if there is a victim's compensation fund for the case.

How do you compensate for this? 

And that inability to learn out of a book or off a video does not mean that these folks cannot compensate in other areas, they can and do.
