Have you looked into commercial real estate at all? One of the factors that scares me off from residential real estate is that one bad tenant can really screw me over, especially as I'm just getting started. It intuitively seems like if you can get a business to pay rent on a property instead you're less likely to have a disaster situation...

I have two commercial units.

Usually the biggest headache, because you can't find property management to manage it and it's much more difficult to get leased then residential.

I think some people make commercial work, but it's a different ballgame and less reliable, IMO.
