Their idea of marketing endless emails, added to the fact they apparently have no way to track multiple contracts for one PM/Owner, results in total chaos and aggravation.

They need to go now, other issues are secondary. that's what I was thinking also but am so mad at them for screwing me over and all the stress and aggravation and money they cost me over the last 3 or 4 weeks. 

Brian,I think sometimes the management and aggravation that comes with RE causes people to stop early or not pursue it but overall long term I think it is well worth the stress and aggervation that comes along with it at times..

Besides, the kind of money I've made on this deal is just the sum total of headaches and aggravation and time, a LOT of work (and a little bit of luck)...But I've decided to share this story and what I've learned after the post of Henri Meli entitled "How I added over $750,000 in value in 18 months of ownership".

Your bowels have not turned to water, you are not gibbering in terror, no indeed, you girded up your loins, dropped out of tertiary education, and set off with a triumphal proclamation to the stars here on Bigger Pockets, "I'M ON MY WAY!"

So it's the usual thing of paying more, but having less risk and aggravation, similar to the East Side or Newport.

I kept an open line of communication with the tenants through the whole process, while they were upset, and I got several aggravated texts about the situation I could absolutely understand their frustration. 

It's a lot of fun and very gratifying, but also very aggravating too.Invest wisely, do your homework on location location location, and don't be in a rush to buy something in this overpriced market, just so you can do it. 

I just got tenants out of an aggravating single family I've had for 4 years and fixed it up to sell.   

@Brie Schmidt  william paid was taking F O R E V E R to deposit money into our account. and they'd bundle the deposits, so if 10 people paid including water payments, i'd have to Sherlock Holmes and understand who was included in that deposit. so i'd spend 1 hr trying to figure it out. it was so frustrating.i want something simple and easy. tenants don't need the aggravation to figure things out in order to pay me.
