Property management and capex are the biggest concerns and why I don't think it will work well. A 500 unit building of more or less homogenous units is much more manageable than a piecemeal portfolio. Figure 500 different roofs, hvac units, dishwashers etc. Nevermind the fact that you physical have to drive to 500 unique properties.
