Biggest Struggle As A Landlord

[Krystallin Baker]

Landlording is far from simple, and most everyone on here has their share of crazy stories from bad tenants to property issues, etc. For you guys, what has personally been the hardest part of landlording or your biggest struggle? How do you work to mitigate that struggle?

Biggest struggle: finding competent contractors so I don't have to do everything myself. The deterioration of work ethic that I have seen in the last 25 years, just in general, is appalling. Even the "good" contractors that I deal with are really what I would consider satisfactory and not great. Thankfully, most of my professional contractors I've got covered - it's the general labor stuff that's really rough.
