But it all really comes down to personal goals, so in my case I'll probably trade some risk and some labor for a little more speed. But over time, my goals and my methods might gravitate a little more toward the Smith plan, more equity, slower acquisition and lower management. jrochest,

Simple, relatively labor-free income properties. That's a pretty good investment.

I always love hearing about people who break the basic rules of something and are still successful (it reassures me that things should work out). I scratch me head often at some of the bonehead things seemingly successful businesses do, and wonder how much better off they might be if they just fixed a few glaring problems (sadly entrepreneurs don't seem to be good at acknowledging their "glaring problems" and tend to just keep doing what they're doing).

This kind of goes in line with the old investors who like to take things "slow and steady" and end up being much richer than their more aggressive counterparts. Mike Good article.
