@Mindy JensenThey are just a mirror site that harvest properties from HUD/FNMA/FREDDIE and it appears Auction.com and others as well as I did a search and recognize many of the properties. 

A Pink or lime green house in the middle.See Journeys End subdivision in Glenwood, Iowa. 

My question is can the landlord be only responsible for one visit to paint where ever the tenant want rather than the second trip.I forgot to mention that within that 8 years i found out that the tenant painted their bedrooms orange, pink and blue.

And even then, harvesting equity (refi / pulling out cash) here and there to pay for add'l properties. 

This way it's not pink and it's not gloss paint.

Jude, my local animal shelter, DAV, Second harvest (a food bank), and my local firefighters association (maybe a few I'm forgetting).

You are trying to defy a law of nature ;The law of sowing and reaping 2 rules -1.Reaping is reserved for the sower 2.If you didn’t sow , then you can’t reap You never put the work in ..so you can’t expect the harvest bro .

If your company offers a Roth 401k (most seem to now) that is a great way to get Roth assets if you are single and earn over $118k or married and over $186k.The flexibility in accessing tax loss harvesting strategies to offset real estate liquidations later on is huge too.

If I could verify that 80% of wealthy people drive a pink car then i wouldn't own a yellow car. 

Additionally, stock market loses during the Great Recession are just paper losses unless you sold in the downturn, which a long term passive investor would not do (aside from tax-loss harvesting).If you want to compare apples to apples, how about comparing your business partner to the 10-year returns of "UPRO," a 4x leveraged S&P 500 ETF, which is up 1517% since 2008 (not including dividends) and is a totally passive investment.To be clear, I'm not trying to argue that stocks are better than real estate investing.
