:Originally posted by @Jon Mason:I think it's funny to hear "real" investors say that if they have too much going on they'll occasionally wholesale a deal and they feel they're justified in doing so, but if you're a wholesaler and you do this repeatedly, you're clearly morally bankrupt.The party who generally is damaged by incompetent wholesalers is the seller. 

Landlords of only a few properties that do not require more than collecting rent and facilitating occasional repairs are not considered to be in the capacity of a business.

Economic changes do this occasionally.

I personally believe (and this comes with several years experience glancing at the Google stock ticker and walking by the Cramer show occasionally on in the bedroom) the market wont be spectacular over the next couple years, sub 8% at least, where does a guy put his money? 

I have 7 section 8 tenants now and have allowed the program in my units for about 10 years.Every tenant I've had drama and/or damage and/or the occasional eviction has been a smoker.  

Pouring boiling water down the drain occasionally or after a clog may prevent stoppages in drains. 

I occasionally listen to podcasts and am still amazed at how the headlines never match up to the content.

I blurred out my info and his address top right.Further more will everyone please contact me or Joseph on here if you see anything resembling anything like this with our names?  

This also doesn't go on your credit record to blur your borrowing power.

As a self-managing investor, my returns have come from being hands-on, even with the occasional costly mistake.The benefits?
