I find my own tenants. I do my own general quarterly inspections. I stop by properties to see big repairs/work done to my standards.
I hire out rent court. I have a handyman take care of small jobs. And I have a contractor for bigger jobs. I do not pick up rent in person.
So I'm definitely not passive, but I'm not needed all the time either.
Thank you! This is fantastic advice!
