It ain’t always pain free, but for investors who know what they’re doing it’s not that big an expense.

this was physically painful to read.but congrats on the sale/deal!

Hear your pain.

In my case we bought in Boston and we live near NYC, a driving distance which is not too painful.

Since he has PCS orders, he can break the lease under the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act , though I'm pretty sure that it's still a 30 day timeline that's required. 

Some things they consider acceptable....moving in grown children and their live in partners, pets without landlord permission,  modifications to unit without permission, bringing in curbside cast off furniture containing bed bugs etc.........Finding regular tenants that pay on time will be far less work and stress than S8.Additionally inspections can be a major pain.

If you have jaw pain, popping when opening wide, etc. report that and any other jaw issues to the VA for your compensation. 

I have the house under contract so it is a relief that we can get this loan to close now.

It's a pain to plow and difficult for tenants to enter and exit.

Distance always makes things a pain for me, so that was the first thing that stood out to my little mind.
