The lesson to me is jurisdictions can make the permit process to be painful, requiring tribal knowledge.

But occasionally we have issues and tenants need to be asked to leave or just decide to disappear in the middle of winter and it sucks.The worst part is I find the quality of tenant interested or willing to move this time of year isn't the greatest either - often times there is a reason they have to move right now since most landlords don't like ending leases this time of year.Either lower your rent or just hang in there.

Also the biggest pain is finding an hoa that allows it. don't even suggest a sfh .

All of a sudden, you bought a painful, costly experience.

It seems that often when companies acquire large books of business in one shot there are growing pains and unfortunately those are felt at the client level.

What a pain in the butt!

And after their visit, more than 48 of those detergent pods "disappeared".

It may work in the long term but can be a painful process.i wish the OP the best and i believe he can benefit by recognizing the value in the various responses but seems unwilling.  

At that time, i will have the knowledge and network to expand and build my portfolio at an increasing speed and then it will be part of my growing pains for my business.I will most likely have that CPA do my returns for the real estate and then have my Tax Accountant still do my Personal, helps with Checks and Balance and cost savings.Do you have cost segregation, or anything like that on any of your properties?  

I imagine the argument would be, well if PadSplit disappears we need to base it off this less, more conservative number...
