One of my wife's friends is married to a guy that is a landlord. He retired from GM when they closed the local plant years ago. He is a handyman type, and it is now his retirement gig. He has about a dozen houses, and just goes house to house to fix what is needed, and get one ready for a new occupant. He seems to like it, but I just can't imagine that task as something I want to get into again. He has one neighborhood that he has like 6 houses just down the street from each other.
He bought houses when the oil booms went bust. So many people would jump on a mortgage when the times were good, and walk away when the times were bad. He would talk to a bank and offer something before it went to auction and looked bad on their books.
