Or blame it on the pain meds from the surgery I had yesterday.

For student tenants in our SF we don't allow it and the insurance was really a pain so we did not pursue anything that was an issue for them on the first go round as now we are in assigned risk. 

I would do as many have state already- get the house re-rented and maybe negotiate a hundred bucks or so for lock change/pain and suffering.

It's a pain, goes up every year and with the last two heavy snow winters, we are still paying monthly special assessments.Wish you the best with your deal.

the only problem is that 203k loans are a pain in the *** so if it won't qualify for conventional financing.  

Those quarterly b&o returns were a pain.

Don't feel bad though, you are experiencing a natural growing pain of real estate investment. 8-units is a real portfolio; in my experience most investors start to seriously consider professional management once they reach 8 to 10 units.

I feel your pain. 

The bad news, it seems to me, is that you've probably grossly underestimated the project you've gotten yourself in to (There is no such thing as a 100+ year old structure that requires anything other than deeply involved, technical work)Making matters worse, if your 'partner' has put his own money into the project, and is due some kind of compensation... and you don't have a clear contract... buying him out and putting the project on the right track is going to be costly, time consuming, and painful.But, as a wise man once told me - both pain and pleasure are magnified by delay.
