But it's a bit exhausting and irritating to deal with on a regular basis. 

They are not mentally challenged like you or the state of Florida think they are.

I mentally "know" my property taxes across all my properties (except my personal home) average out to be a total of $315/month. 

It almost sort of seems like a crowd mentality.

Go spend a year or two putting families in homes, focused 100% on that, and nothing else, not even having the mental capacity to ask unrelated questions (you're working 70 hours a week getting your super basic-level business just barely up and running, you don't have time for such nonsense).

Knowing your timeframe for acquiring the property will help you stay on track with the rest of the process.While this is not an exhaustive checklist, if you have these six areas planned out in advance, you will be in a great position to get through your first investment property purchase without any major surprises.

@Jay Helms I stand up during the members part of our monthly in-person REIA meetings, and announce that I'm happy to talk to, or have coffee with, anyone who wants to talk about real estate.And then, because of that and the fact that some folks recognize me from posting on BP, I usually have a ton of people come up to me during the break and after the main meeting.To be honest, it's exhausting, and sometimes I head to the bathroom just to hide for a few minutes before I can deal with The Crowd.

Another option would be to see if someone would loan you $6600 and take a lien against the equity in the property (although it doesn't sound like there is much) and then resume payments on the home....But at the end of the day, if you have exhausted all efforts to keep the home you may want to consider just listing it and walking away with $15k (before it is all gone in fees and missed payments) and starting over somewhere more affordable.

I just bought a lot to build a home on  and I am making MUCH smaller monthly payments on my lot and it is a mental drag.
