@Dean Harris  Very true, I have two lined up to close this month!

True, followers would not see as much gain as the initial investor, but there is still a bigger gain to be shared for everyone.

If this is true, a nurse.. fired for catching this virus and being in a position to not pay rent now...

That is especially true for when all these mortgage deferment balloon payments come due in a few months.

As stated above, if you have a tenant in and your purchased correctly and have true cash flow you should be fine. 

Thanks Solomon & I sure hope you're right :-)  I think people certainly need protection and options from near "price-gouging"  pertaining to home rentals especially, but your point is so true (that solid landlords can't be replaced) and I hope the gov't keeps us in mind when they're faced with potential, new decisions - Thanks for your reply!  

@Marty True Thank you but this doesn't totally answer my question.

Not quite true it should be 8.33% for 1 month out of 12.

If DIY is the approach, you really need to track every material expense and every minute of time spent on the project to accurately reflect the true cost (still likely cheaper, but not likely as astronomically cheaper as it appears at first glance).

Is this true?
