It's miserable.

Hi @Mike Miser.

Boy man I hated accounting I did for a long time got my CPA and all that I was miserable everyday.  

Their attitude might make a problem as some try to make your life miserable as the prospective purchaser.  

As much as I want revenge on these tenants and make their lives miserable, it's best to just write it off. 

I was drowning in payments and made that year mostly miserable.

You could be working downtown now and buy a place in JP with a manageable commute, then find yourself working in Kendall Square in 2 years and have a miserable commute, then get lured to the west coast in 2 more years and find yourself being a long-distance landlord. 

That's pretty terrible.Should you finance, you'll be at ~$100/month and a miserable 1.6% ROI. 

Once a property is in REAP, the city Housing Department is in charge ( HCIDLA as they are known before their website switches back to Housing Department, as they were known since the passage of the Rent Control Ordinance in 1978 creating a large bureaucracy charging fees to the landlord to feed themselves and at the same time making life miserable to the mom and pop landlord who does not have the resources to comply with their draconian rules).  

Equity Trust is miserable to deal with.Separately, I highly recommend checkbook control...lower cost, more control.
