If you have a HUD contract attached to the debt on the property and it's rent restricted, then you have no control over rent increases and in the long term as expenses increase you will be stuck with a negative cash flow situation.

In fact I believe most central banks are trapped at the zero bound and that we're all turning Japanese (Whose 'Lost Decade' is now old enough to be graduating with a master's degree) because low interest rates distort investment and hurt savers who would normally be a big part of the spending in consumer driven economies.

Apparently there are 15.3 Million of them and only 2% is control by large companies.  

.$550 per week in lost rent$750 per week is what it cost me to own the triplex in both actual and opportunity cost.5 days (normal work week) of my labor (40 hours) will take me about 1 months worth of weekends to complete.

After that awesome experience, I lost my taste for real estate investing for the next 3.5 years.  

You are saying you lost money all this time...and a lot by my count...and you are wondering if it's OK?

You don't have money in the deal, you don't have authority in the deal, but you have to control it all. 

You don't have to tell their kids no college because dad lost everything due to a slip and fall case on a rental. 

Not as flexible as what everyone said it would be before you got into real estate.Sure, there's some hings you an control, but... when a buyer wants to look at houses you better be ready to show them.
