    #129: Are Self-Managing Rentals Really Worth Your Time?

    What’s your time really worth? Managing a rental property might be costing you far more in hours (and stress) than it’s earning you in returns. In this episode of The Multifamily Investor Playbook, Mark Faris and John Makarewicz break down the hidden time tax of self-managing single-family rentals — and why it often leaves even high earners working for less than minimum wage. They contrast the 300+ hours spent over five years managing a single property with the near-passive experience of investing in large, professionally run multifamily communities. What you’ll learn: ✔ The true time commitment of buying, underwriting, and managing a rental property ✔ Why tenant turnover, contractor delays, and “think time” eat into your real returns ✔ How to calculate the opportunity cost of your time at different income levels ($250K–$1M+) ✔ Why managing rentals is really a second job — not the same as building lasting wealth ✔ How passive multifamily investing delivers cash flow, appreciation, and tax benefits without the headaches If you’re debating whether to self-manage rentals or invest passively with experienced operators, this episode gives you the numbers, stories, and framework to make a smarter decision about your time and your wealth.
