I had a note investor today tell me he rather have 100 notes vs 100 units.
His reason was no toilets, termites, tenants.
What about the benefits of depreciation, equity, etc in owning the real estate?
Thoughts?

What is a good way to find out if the property you want to purchase is in a good market for rentals? Does anyone ever experience crazy high vacancies or is it generally not a huge problem even for first time investors?
