@Terrell Brown,I'm out of state (Connecticut) and landlording in Cleveland (East Clevelan to be specific) as since mid-2012.

@Michael Blank  we're seeing the same low to mid double digit unlevered IRRs be attractive to our clients' investors too.

My mid/long term goals are to have passive income that can cover all my living expenses by the age of 30 so I can pursue career passions and not just a "secure" job.

My real estate experience is in managing Class A & B properties: high-rise laboratory, research parks, industrial parks, mid-rise office parks, office and industrial condominiums, and a corporate campus.

Though I am currently convinced that buy and hold mid to large cash flowing apartments (given a great property management team, and tenant & location stability) is probably one of the greatest ways to build and preserve wealth, however I realize there are other options.

Despite that four year setback, by my mid twenties I had several properties.

Especially in the tax SALE states. back in the day I am talking the 60's through mid 90's.. in CA. you had to do your homework.

It may seem wasteful, but price labor costs on an as-available basis vs. that inevitable middle of the night emergency mid-winter.
