Having been a landlord for over 30 years I can say for sure that it is not free money. You earn it by taking a risk and by being a diligent manager once you purchase the property. People often do not wish to buy and or cannot do it for whatever reason. Owning real estate is real work and there is no guarantee you will profit from it.
