When Jeff Flake woke up Sunday morning to the news of a political assassination attempt in America, his first thought was Never again.

He owns nearly 30 rental homes, and while he outsources their day-to-day management to a large company, he makes sure his properties are within a 1½ -hour drive of his Atlanta home so he can stop by if necessary.Real-estate insiders often divide owners of single-family rental homes into two groups. There are the big guys — a small…
