Still Painful and costly to me.Anybody with a similar experience?

There are too many 'birthing and growing pains' associated with starting and growing a new business that would lead me to believe that this is a good move for you at this time.

They will have a lower rate of return- say 6-10%- but a very low pain in the butt factor- and possibly counter cyclical downturns to your other investments.

This has application both in bulk and one off trade situations.I can certainly share some commentary from my experiences, some of which have been painful learning curves.

At 45, and the investments you have, you probably won't make/have enough to travel and play golf 24/7 (if that's your thing), so it might be good to have some obligations to keep you a little busy and keep your mind sharp. 25 to 45 years is a lot of time on your hands.

Jon HoldmanI share your screen pain, I freaking hate screens when people destroy them and throw everything away to hide the evidence.

That is a pain but I gotta get some revenue coming in!

This could be a bookkeeping pain.

They were less than willing to work with me, but I think they got sick of me constantly calling them...because of their attitude, I did charge them the $50 late fee as prescribed for in the lease, which will come out of their security deposit...All in all, a pain in the ***, but the monthly profit far outweighs the negatives...What do you guys think?

Corey, I feel your pain.
