"Based on your post it appears you're not profiting at all from your assets" Not true. I'm making decent cash flow and a net profit. "Is this more "first world problems" and in fact you're making a reasonable return given your investment of time and money?" Of course it's a "first-world problem." I think you're misinterpreting me as somehow complaining about how bad I have it. That's not the case. I'm in a very fortunate position that I can even be doing this. The point of my post was specifically to respond to the previous poster's comment about how investing in real estate seems like "funemployment." It's not fun, and it's hard work. It can be lucrative, but it's not a set-it-and-forget-it type of job. And it's not easily scalable unless one is prepared to do it full time (in which case, if they're good at it, it can be quite lucrative).
