Ouch. That sounds as painful as being a direct hands on landlord. I divested single family last year and am back to scrounging for cheapo micros again. Retirement is 'delayed' as always, starting to wonder what it is anyway. :P
We definitely timed the 'bottom' on real estate as far as looking for rentals back in late 2011-2012. The rates of return were/are tremendous in % terms on a little condo I picked up end of 2011. Not much invested but wish I'd bought a bunch of those little condos of course in hindsight. It all gets taken care of by property mngmnt and they've raised rental rates fairly consistently no pain but has gain.
