If these posts highlight one thing, its that resi IP is not a passive income solution, some of you seem to have almost full time jobs in keeping on top of all this!!
All investment asset classes has it's ups and downs. What I have found in my experience of investing in Resi IPs is what Murphy's law state. There are times when all investment properties require some maintenance done around the same time and then you get several months of lull with only thing you need to do is ensure the rent money gets paid on time.
I also invest in sharemarket. It gets very busy during the reporting season where you need to see how the business is going from the financial reports, what's the dividend going to be. Do you continue to hold, add or sell?
I guess you just have to invest in something that you like doing. There is hardly any passive investments out there that provide you with satisfactory returns.
