I’ve been renting my entire adult life and I’ve required maybe six hours of effort from my landlords in that time. It would take thousands of properties to keep someone honestly employed full time managing them.
Idk people like you or me might not take up a lot of maintenance time but I had property manager previously who was also a landlord who was actually there all the time in a building of around 13 units doing actual work. He only had one other building as far as I know and kept pretty busy. But then, he wasn’t a “landlord” in the sense we’re discussing. He owned the buildings and maintained them.
