Being a landlord isn't truly passive income—it's a part-time job. In Parker, we are seeing a wave of investors exiting the market. Here are three signs you might be ready to join them:
- One major repair would wipe out your profit: If a new furnace or roof would cost you 3 years of cash flow, your risk exposure is too high.
- You dread the phone ringing: If tenant calls cause anxiety, the "hassle factor" has exceeded the financial return.
- You have massive equity but low cash flow: This is "Dead Equity." Selling allows you to harvest that wealth tax-efficiently (via 1031 Exchange).
