Okay thanks, I've been looking at statistics online mostly.

I know in my area the HOA usually eats into a good portion of the cashflow and although there might be a few expenses (roof, exterior, landscaping) which are taken care of by the HOA it does not offset the monthly expense.  

Landscaping is absolutely zero return.

Houses are more time consuming as well because the tenants could care less about the lawn, landscaping and keeping up with general maintenance.

I work in lawn and landscape full time and I am getting into real estate part time(for now).  

If I didn't have a landscaping company and trucks and tools I would rent for sure.

That link doesn't work for me, but as a gut reaction (and a home owning millennial) the phrase that comes to my mind is "There are lies, damn lies, and statistics." :)

In SFR's, the tenant usually pays for all expenses not covered in property taxes and homeowners insurance, while the landlord usually pays for water, landscaping, trash, and sometimes gas and electric, which increases the overhead by a large sum.

I did invest in a property in Oakland CA back in 2004 only to become a part of the foreclosure statistic in 2011.

your rate is probably  .010096 which would be $757.2 per year look up address of property for sale on zillow and scroll down to tax statistics there is no 10% rate usually 1-3%
