I do like the photo thing, but it's a pain in the ***.  

If you insist on DIY managing, you are in for a long and painful learning curve.

From the property management perspective, yes...hot tubs (actually in-ground spas) can be a pain.

Or I'd have to try and work up my log hours from home depot & gas station receipts which would be a big pain in the butt.

Real pain to get an account setup.

I have ripped out engineered wood before and it was a pain.

This is my first multi-unit purchase, with larger purchase number with high interest rate in the neighborhood i never had rental property, which all add together that gives me anxiety, even though i used to work in the area for 14 years....so i cant say i am not familiar with the neighborhood, just never owned any propertydefinitely never felt good at closing, and chest pain is real, i dont recall when was the last time i was happy at closing, it's always "why i did it again", then i remembered because i need to make more income.summer being great time to get new tenant, but also worst financial time for me with kid summer camp, summer vacation travel...etc 

It is certainly a pain trying to keep up on what seems like continual regulation changes.

The moral is: he is not in imminent pain.  

Inflation and unemployment are their primary signals and are telling a very different story.
