Baltimore is a good market if you really know the area but the drive up there is a pain.

@Marty Summers It depends on the size of your 401k, but investing in real estate directly through you 401k is kind of a pain because you are investing with tax deference but that's one of the reasons to invest in real estate because of all the writeoffs. 

If you want to sell, I would sell your most troubled or pain in the neck properties.

This business is guaranteed as long as you are willing to go though the growing pains.

Bit of a pain-in-the-neck to work with, but we were able to get it done with favorable terms.How did you add value to the deal?

If your investment property is in a snowbelt state during winter then the eviction process can be quite painful as a court is loathe to throw someone out on the street during the middle of winter.

It takes up your time and it takes time to work the internet to return yields.In other words: Above paths will demand most of all the precious time input from YOU.There is a better solution.I didn't see the need to try another app like Arsenal MKg, and I'm not saying some might be happy with it, however, it depends on where you are currently in your business skill, knowledge and mindset level.I'm a commercial real estate syndicator and life long marketer, so yes, my response might sound bias to some, however, the real question you need to answer for yourself is: Do you want to be and stay stuck with the immense repeat time investment and painful learning curve, which no software will solve for you, or do you want to focus on growing your team (with the appropriate skills) and business by doing what you do best (outsource the rest): Buy & Sell real estate.Food for thought ;-)Feel free to check out a few of my other comments to other fellow BP-users on this same subject.A great book on this subject by Timothy Ferriss,  The 4 Hour Work Week.

I had an applicant look good on paper, but the prior landlord said she was a pain to deal with and while always paid, just simply didn't follow the property rules, was rude, etc. 

The land is worth something and if you demo and find a nightmare you could abandon it without too much pain. 

I would greatly appreciate any and all advice to help ease the pain.
