It is a good long term money maker. I assume that "help" you mentioned will collect the rent, screen prospective tenants for deadbeats, and do on site repairs. If so you put the money in and rents plus tax benefits come rolling out. Otherwise if the landlord is doing all of that it can be a tough way to make a living. |

Certainly possible.
You need certain skills and a desire to do the work. People skills, math skills, organizational skills. Many people have them and do not like being a landlord.
You also can be a real estate investor while not dealing with the property management. Hence you do not have to be a hands on landlord. Most owners of large commercial buildings do not manage them. Even small landlords with residential units (houses) can hire out the work successfully. |

YES: Remember that a Land Lord is a business person. To be one you have to have rules for yourself, by sticking to the rules you permit yourself to be successful. By breaking your own rules, you will get more pain than you can handle.
I don't know what help you think you need, the problems of the land lord come from people. If the rent is paid, and the funds are set aside for repair, then getting the building repair done is not a problem most times. |

sure, why not. i do it. i actually do it part time for our landlord. me and my bf are assitants. it's great, we get a discount on our rent for helping take phone calls, and clean the building we are in. i don't mind it at all. doing it full time is a big job though. our landlord goes non-stop even on his days off. |

Sure, but it can be a tough racket. If I were you, I'd start by buying a duplex and living in half of it. Get a feel for being a landlord without all the risk. |
