Not hate, but challenges I didn't think about

Maintenance/upgrade stuff - painting, replacing carpet, changing that light bulb that's 15 feet off the floor. Dealing with a broken appliance. Power washing your deck or roof.

Stuff you took for granted with a rental but now is your problem. Understanding that if you don't maintain your home you'll have bigger issues and decreased value.

Also, I hate property taxes oh so much.

Agreed. Challenges come with bad timing.

Like a garage door spring going out at Christmastime. Or a hot water heater that decides to quit on a Friday. These are two examples of things I recommend you leave to a professional. Especially the garage door.
