First of all, there are no more condo meetings, because you are THE ONLY owner.
Second, you do what you want, when you want, without having to ask anyone for anything.
Third, when you put your apartments under management in a real estate agency, it goes straight, because you are a big client.
Another BIG advantage of real estate is the management of the apartments.
It is YOU who chooses the work you want to do... or not to do.
It is YOU who chooses the tenants you want... no bad profiles on the same floor as your tenants.
It is YOU who chooses the type of rental (short term, shared...) you want... and nobody will complain.
If you're aiming for financial independence, you're not going to get away with flats.
You can go straight to the big leagues
Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to go through the "galley" stage before reaching the "boss" stage.
You don't have to start with an apartment to "get your hands dirty".
You can directly invest in a rental building and avoid considerable losses in TIME and MONEY.
To put you once and for all in "BOSS" mode, it is time to move to the apartment building.
Good luck for business readers =)
