Which is worse: dealing with contractors or tenants?

I've heard it both ways. "I flip houses because I don't want to deal with tenants". "I rent houses for the monthly cash flow". WeIl guess what? If you flip houses you have to deal with contractors, and if you rent houses you have to deal with tenants. Which is worse? I've flipped and I've rented, and have an opinion but wanted to get BPs input. I'll get the thoughts started. No tenant has ever cost me $40,000. Contractors.

Contractors are worse because they are looking to make an extra buck!
