Every deal is different...I have had a pretty bad one myself.I will stick with landlording, light rehabs and a few REITs to keep my RE invesment portfolio empire going...I enjoy collecting checks every month and being in complete control of all my property without question from any "partners".

I think for a lot of folks who have had less than desirable results with the "Rich Dad Training" sessions that it's more a quality control issue.

You have no control over single-family home appreciation, but you can create value in a true income property by enhancing its income stream.

Just keep it under control on the spending . . . don't overdo it!

Best is when you have role based access control.

Gee, if that is the only way to fix it, unfortunately that is what needs to be done if there isn't a panel to access the pipes behind the counter.

Is it better to take care of that and know that it's under control?

Old styling and wood paneling.

Three of my aunts/uncles were jockeying for control of the house.

Master the art of raising rents (in non-rent control areas) and deliberately causing a mass exodus of the riff-raff.Learn to love and be able to solve other peoples problems...would be my tip for success.
