Sure, but then the property manager charges so much that it's probably not a profitable investment, or at least a much less profitable one. They typically charge a % of the rent, plus another fee for whatever activity they do- x number of dollars to visit the site, x dollars to show the property, x dollars to go to court, manage the contractors, and so on.

Now it's 'passive', sure, but no longer an 'investment'

...unless the math adds up and you're still making a profit.
