Another 2 remote ones managed by PM (10% of rent)
近程也煩的: say, 1/2 driving distance. That is at least 1 hr driving. If one needs to drive to Home Depot or Lowes, easily 1/2 day.
When stock market has big drop like 5%, your stock investment would feel like 海上的一頁小舟。Rental is safe harbor.
It is like insurance.
If tenants are too handy, you would worry too. What if there is flood caused by this guy? Don't take it too emotional.
I have a new AC installed for remote rental. It failed a few month later. No replacement parts available soon. I think it was like 2 wks.
I asked tenants to pay me HOA citation right away or I would forget.
