From what I've seen this is rare.The biggest problem I've seen on this thread is limiting beliefs. 

They start to have bizarre attitudes and unrealistic tenant expectations.There's this strong general belief here on Bigger Pockets that "a good property manager" will solve every problem you have and "your time is too valuable" to spend managing apartments and working with tenants.

We all come from a belief in abundance, not scarcity.

They don't deal in it regardless of their personal beliefs as to whether it should be legal or not.

In addition hobby landlords have a mistaken belief that the term of a lease in some way has a bering on when tenant will choose to leave.

Its a slick interface where you can invest based on your beliefs; ie "Clean & Green", or "Robots Rising", they even have a index for REITs.  

My belief is that they do this so they can give you the finger one more time, and cost you money. 

I had the same mistaken belief and was advised by my attorney during a previous eviction that this is not necessarily true.

There seems to be an awful lot of people who get into real estate with the belief that they'll be happier if they make more money because it will allow them to become more extravagant spenders.
