Now if you take on debt you might could get overall IRR into double digits but actual cash flow coming to you every month for annual 12.5% is just not that realistic and be passive.The thing with owning businesses versus real estate is they can throw off very high income to value but you have to actively work them and most are not passive in nature.

I'm clearly overwhelming myself... just trying to figure out how best to organize my thoughts and such so my head can be more clear I guess.Sorry for the rambling nature of this.

YOU CAN AND WILL ONLY BECOME SMARTER.in any case it seems like you were taking things personal  (explains why you couldn't understand how I could manage  properties, but I by nature am a guy that can take....) but I really really did not have any intention of doing thsa, it's just my humorous way of bringing out a point, my deepest apologies however if you would like to hear any kind of advice, I am all here to help other people, experienced as well as inexperienced     Good luck

I never leave any wood natural.
