The Phantom is more robust, but also a bigger pain to carry around.There are potential legal issues if you are using a drone professionally.  

Uggghhh 16k yeah that’s painful.

@Michael Baum I could visualize everything as I read your post and I feel your pain.

You can buy them going conventional where each property would be 20% down SFR and you would have two conventional loans that you could BRRR them both.Package loans have to be refinanced either together or you must separate them which can be a pain if you only need to BRRR one of them due to value, affordability, renter etc...  

From what I've read, it's a pain if there isn't a title on hand (like a 3 yr reg w/out ownership).

Tenants can be a pain, but if you vet them well (and consistently across all applicants) you will be fine.  

Growing pains of course with understanding how to property manage, but overall its been a great purchase.

This property has some growing pains involved, we had to do a lot of repairs and we inherited some awful tenants so we took a big loss on these properties so far.

That said, it's more painful if you let an investment property go if you have 25 or 30% of your cash in the transaction.Conventional means the loan is backed by a GSE. 

Big banks are a pain to deal with and are not very flexible.
