Yup, but the difference is that some of your appreciating asset is being paid for by someone else. In some cases that's worthless, in others quite valuable.

As for pricing, the market does that for you.

When it works, it works really well.

When it goes wrong, it fails catastrophically.

That is to say, the variance of slumlording and poker arr probably equal :)

Yes, investments involve risk. If you believe that another cataclysmic crash is coming to the real estate market, then stay out. If you think it's unlikely, it can be a relatively low risk investment for the returns.

I definitely agree, but I wouldn't say the market crash is the biggest risk.

Tenants who damage the property and withhold rent are way worse.
