Time/week spent: 5h - 20h

Time was spent on property maintenance, tenant communication, and administrative tasks like bookkeeping and lease management. Initially, more time was required for setting up the property and finding tenants. Over time, the hours decreased as processes became more streamlined. Online communities often mention that being a landlord can be demanding, especially when dealing with tenant issues or property repairs, but it varies based on the number of properties and whether a property manager is involved.
