Not me.I have a framework.That framework "tries to" balance out a comfortable life vs. being just a toiling slave to a goal.But I will say this, I do enjoy most everything real estate.For instance if I'm sitting in the hot tub listning to music (or posting in here) and a call comes through saying a roof blew off, some people would consider that a huge hassle.But I don't look at it that way.

There are existing commercial loans that a lender may allow someone to sign the note and security instruments along with the existing borrower, but assumable means trading places with basically and that does not happen.The type of property is irrelevant to the type of strategy used.

Being able to at least eliminate or almost eliminate verbal sounds, music, etc would at least be worth something though 

This right here.Put on some loud hateful music and let everyone know you're here to work out and not be there for social time. 

@Alex Franks I see money as a tool, an instrument used to build your life.

My loving wife at a key point was instrumental in offering the support to allow our relationship to sustain itself, my confidence levels to be what they needed to be to succeed. 

Sit on the couch and get full of brownies and smoke a little more and listen to bad music like the Grateful Dead.They are not gonna suddenly join forces and riot through the wheeled jungle of mobile homes leaving death and destruction behind them.Now, it it is heroine, meth, even distribution of pot......get serious and get them out.Stoners that have a job and one misdemeanor......sign the lease right here please.And before assumptions are made I have not smoked weed in 30 years.

Highly paid professionals that are looking for an alternative to the stock market and other financial instruments.

Were the people who predicted the real estate recession making bold assumptions when they extrapolated from mortgage data and security instruments that housing was profoundly unprofitable and unsustainable?
