Most of what you describe can be subcontracted to a property management company, and you can still make a healthy return.
One of the problems with the rental market in urban centres like London at the moment is that even totally inept landlords can stay in business and make a profit through capital gains alone.
- nieksand 11y agoIf you honestly believe this premise of risk-free profits, then why not toss your life savings into a residential leasing firm? An example stock is Equity Residential (stock EQR). Easy way to put money where mouth is. (For the record, I don't agree with your premise and would never invest solely in real estate).
