Self management takes a lot of mental energy and not worth it for everyone.

Your tenant could be a jerk or have a psychological or mental issue.

I think a person’s mental willpower, tenacity, and determination is something that’s not discussed enough, but is the unsung hero in most professions.

AS for life long renters and their mentality Not sure savings is in their future.  

@Marc IzquierdoI think it’s the “reverse” sales mentality if you will.

I think your capex and repair numbers are low though.And the tenant you have won’t get better and is pretty much judgement proof so your life will be mentally easier if u start fresh.

There are all sorts of mental health concerns related to this sort of issue and I won't go into details but people with mental illness will often have difficulty.

There is a guy around my area that runs about 10 of them and makes big $$$ doing it .That’s interesting  one of our local county commissioners runs several group homes and is making good money as well  I’d thought about converting a six unit into a group home to increase the profits  you can get more per door for sure but depending on what you’re doing it requires some setup and employees - intellectually disabled adults vs other mental ailments vs substance abuse or halfway house etc.

Under normal conditions, I would suggest just attaching them to the back end of another showing I had (to play on scarcity mentality), but would absolutely not show the same apartment to them again unless there was a good reason.  

They are mentally costly, plus there are other risks.
