If you let a real estate company manage the rentals, it will be very profitable - for them. They will make a lot of money without taking any risk. The best way to make money as a landlord is to manage your own property, and buy cheap houses. In my opinion, a house on the golf course is not a good rental property because much of the value is in the lot premium for which you will not get enough return in rental income.
