It was a pretty solid meeting but the speaker got a little long winded and I'll admit I was slightly burned out by the time he was done, and pretty much bolted to the door when he finally wrapped it up.

Hell, I gave my electrician a hundred dollar bonus last month because he did some outstanding work and did some extra work that wasn't in the original scope. 

Plus, so many Millenials saw their parents get burned, even those who didn't buy at the peak, some of them are turned off and don't see buying a home as a good investment.

I paid extra for UPS ground shipping, but turns out good old snail mail would have gotten them here sooner and for less $$!  

You just gave the bank an extra 3%.

It seems like a great way to make some extra money for a downpayment on a future property.

If they stay, you've put a few extra dollars in your pocket and you can try it again when the next lease expires.  

Since you appear to have a good income you can plow extra income from that property to pay off the note like a debt snowball.

@James DeRoest  burned out landlords remain one of the mainstay's of acquiring new inventory... that's for sure.. and its true at virtually every price point..

We have many clients with deep pockets and large incomes that prefer to build a large real estate portfolio with our turnkey properties primarily because they don't have any "extra" time to get involved actively in real estate investing.Other factors to consider are your knowledge, contacts, capital, and other resources that may be necessary to do it on your own.
