I've seen them both.The reality is, you may achieve an investment goal by buying many properties or few properties.Instead, focus on the quality of cash flow the property will generate and the risks associated with thos cash flows.

and strong-arm, but the reality is this is a very poorly managed situation with a seemingly otherwise good tenant.

The reality is, I never would have been able to invest here if I didn't house hack.

But the reality is it's going to take you a while to find a good deal. 

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

A lot of landlords are advised to put their properties in the name of an LLC for asset protection.While this is basically true, the reality isn’t what most landlords think.If a legal issue occurs with your property resulting in a lawsuit, there’s a decent chance the plaintiff’s attorney will be successful in “piercing the corporate veil” of your LLC and being able to sue you directly.

I know you mentioned you are open to all investing options, but in reality all those options are VERY different, and have some pros and cons associated with each.

You should also consider the reality of our current marketplace and the ability to sell properties is getting frothy with the rapidly changing debt markets.

In reality, most doctors and high paid pros would be better off investing with experienced operators than buying real estate on their own. 

In reality, you don't need someone to collect rent, or re-lease a place (you can do that electronically) you just need someone with the connections to get things fixed when they break or an emergency.
