If you have a mortgage payment of 7K and you do not have a tenant for one month you just lost 3K on the other hand if you have a mortgage payment of $300 month and your tenant pays $800 it is a lot easier to take a $500 loss then $3k. Also it is so much easier to find someone to rent your apartment for $800 then 100, 000 even if it is 100 times better.

There's more to real estate that buying single occupant houses and low rise apartments. These type of investiments are time consumming for the owner and not that worth it.
