I feel your pain.

Overall, MI caters to every foreseeable pain point, both in the process of purchase and the property management.

@Marco Padilla I'm not sure how things are in PA, in Florida the sellers (sometimes banks won't) typically pay the title companies fee so they have the right to choose who they use because they are the one paying. if I understand this correctly the first title company was in PA??.. 

Also, Brookland Park Boulevard is undergoing a transformation near Chamberlayne Avenue that may help Highland Park as well.Still, I don't like to bank on appreciation with real estate investments and I don't think that the housing stock in Highland Park will lead to the high end renovations going on in surrounding neighborhoods.

I went through the painful process of switching servicers to Land Home.Joe was patient and flexible as I was fairly new to note investing.In the end, I left Land Home for another servicer only to come back to Land Home 6 months later when that servicer went out of business.No servicer is perfect, however I will say that the more time you put into building the relationship with your servicer the better things become.

I do have an expensive miter saw in my future, as it does pay to get a good one with a large blade, though they are a pain so having a small one and a big one is probably ideal.

Getting a loan for a residential property for an LLC can be a pain.

If you keep the @sshole tenant below, She's just gonna be a pain to whomever you put in the upper unit as well, and maybe the new upper unit tenant won't be as accommodating.

I agree that pretty much anything above $500k is guaranteed to cause some financial pain (at least in the early stages).  

For our market Christmas and New Years are huge money makers, so it would really pain me to close the first week of January.
