There is a lot of managing of seasonal workers which is very challenging and time consuming. 

I noticed this podcast in the news the other day... https://www.bizjournals.com/au... and objectively speaking as a consumer who seeks to find true value, is it worth more to go with a Full-Service Realtor who is incentivized to find the best deals for their customer or; to go with a business model which emphasizes quantity over quality, potentially leaving $ on the table as well as lack of personalization?

The negative position consumes the initial cash flow; sometimes it consumes years of cash flow to recover the negative position.In most markets, ADU additions are not typically value adds.  

And often the “investors” we speak to haven’t brought us business to warrant being the first call when we stumble upon one.Second - consumers tend to be far more flaky than agents.

I probably could have purchased 3 C class houses which would have cash flowed more per month, but I'm opting for what should be better tenants. 

We've only had a few early terminations but all have opted for the clean break.

But overall I feel being a Realtor is not quite as time consuming as it used to be.

I realize that raising equity for smaller deals may prove costly and time consuming but it seems an acceptable price to pay to build investor relationships.

I know you mentioned picking one up 5 years ago, but my wife and looked and looked and after failing to find ones that would meet our criteria, opted for SFH (townhomes in particular) for now.
