 Because for most people it's a colossal waste of time and energy. 

Investors who have frequent evictions are buying cheap, unprofitable crapboxes. 

Cameron, welcome. I would advise that you think less about the number of properties you want to own and more about the quality. Owning a lot of cheap properties can be less profitable than owning a few better properties. Best of luck to you.

Welcome, Philip. Do you have an investing strategy? 

No.

Welcome, Maria.  As others have said, take your time and learn the basics and what not to buy before making any moves. Best of luck to you.

Joshua, I would reconsider purchasing a property in a neighborhood where vacant properties attract druggie squatters. What quality of tenants is that property going to attract? Just something to consider.
