Do what is proper    Finding good tenant is a pain...

Pain in the a.s.

I built myself up to bring a superhost.. and when I started I made sure to read every week reviewed Kindle etc on being successful.. took the strategies and went with it.. it's a pain in my *** when it comes to my guests calling or texting at weird times but I think about the end goal..

Paint, plumbers, flooring, electrican all fairly easy to get and pretty wide selection....Handyman type stuff though, huge pain if the jobs not big enough. 

I am in a similar situation and put a just in case HELOC on my house for $375 and pain-free qual.

@Daniel LaCroix unfortunately after using these platforms myself I realised getting these to work for real estate is a bit of a pain.

I feel your pain @Linda Weygant!

Age doesn't come into the mix, unless someone plans to do rehab work themselves and it's all aches and pain :)

Seller financing just spreads the pain across the years while the note is being paid off. 1031 would avoid all of that, but he would need to identify a new property within 45 days and close the transaction within 180.

states were the homes have a lot of basements.. these can be good and or if they weep or leak can be a pain.. 3.
