Then they get steady payments every month without any responsibility.The last one I did was 10% down at 5% interest.

In my opinion.... land lording is a long game.... steady and consistent are the biggest keys.   

If their end goal is to go slow and steady that's fine but if you want to blast off you have to find rockstars to be part of your team.

With a projected inflation rate of 5% just being announced and a government that seems to think printing free money is ok, I doubt you will see interest rates staying steady for 2 years. 

I own several that are paid off and have steady tenants in them for many years. 

They seem to break in the very cold of winter or hot of summer because temperature puts more strain on the metal.

I have excellent credit and proof of steady income. 

Any investing is dangerous at any time if you invest in the wrong assets, but what’s even more dangerous is letting your money sit in the bank earning significantly less than 1% in returns while inflation is skyrocketing, dropping the value of your wealth day by day while others are using inflation to get their money to grow and their loans to be of less value as time goes on.We mitigate a lot of the risks and focus on relatively safe investments with modest returns and huge tax savings to ensure steady growth with numerous tax savings for all investors.

I had a home in Idaho where my management company called me at 8 pm, told me the furnace was broke and the temperature outside was 5 degrees.

If this property were in Chicago (like Oak Park) and not Indianapolis, it might seem more clear to me to stick with the original design concept and truly embrace the more 'old world' feel, for Indianapolis however where modern looking flips are in steady/constant supply, it's more questionable.
