Good idea on paper, only it all falls apart when repairs to the house is required which costs money & then when your tennet walks out leaving the place like a shit hole so then more money required & then a lengthy wait for replacment tennets!

Unless you have a couple of properties the rental game is tricky one based on many varibles to actually make money!
