On a small property it can be a pain to manage all that minutia. 

@Anthony Fecarotta yeah, actually i think you did mention the common area improvements...man, it's a real pain dealing with bitter A-holes...not sure what else to suggest, best of luck!

I’m looking for an experienced agent/broker/investor in the area to act as a mentor to help get through the growing pains.

Find their pain point and fix it.

I used the fha for my first deal and even though the fha funding fee is a bit of a pain, overall I don’t regret it.

The family upstairs has been a pain since day one - they pay, sometimes late but they pay a late fee so I've put up with it. 

@Mel Kline Long distance single-family rentals can be a pain.

Over all a pain in the butt, but AirBNB made it right in a couple of hours. 

The city's insurance paid for that one, but it was still a pain in the neck.

The FHA203k buyer has to pay more for the deal to convince the seller to take the more pain in the butt offer in exchange for a higher purchase price.
