Within 2 weeks of the locks being changed the tenant filed suit ($10,000) against my parents in small claims court claiming that she was illegally locked out of her home and denied access to her medicine which caused pain and suffering. 

@Robert SlatkinThe permitting part is the most painful part, sometimes it might even take longer than the rehab itself.  

It's a bit of a pain to get to highways and to Boston (your probably 40 minutes out).

It pained me and I had to take a personal day after the decision to walk away, but that property was not for me.There was a lot of weirdness that went down during our inspection that has left a sour taste in my mouth.

Someone like Wells Fargo or B of A has a lot of stringent rules they need to follow, but are a pain to get anything done with.  

Therefore, if someone goes around you and gets a lower PA in place.

(unless they are a large company, of course).they will immediately think you are a pain to work with. i know how it feels to be burned and it sucks. good luck. to me, finding contractors is the worst part of this business.

It's a pain!

That 42 - 47% income tax burden of which Chad wrote above ... well health care is one of the principal reasons.

I am a huge believer in the Roth IRAs, Health Savings Accounts (HSA), and Coverdell Educational Savings Accounts (CESA).
