He said it is a lot less grief, typically families, no bitching over noise, parking spots and what not. Which is why he has not bought more. He said 90% of the calls he gets would be from the one complex.

That said, once he got into the car wash game. He said that it was 100 times better than real estate. My guess is the R.O.I. in the short term versus the long term benefits of rentals. Which seems to be more about building equity over time.
