Unexpected error occurred while communicating with Administration Service – When Adding Managed Property

When this error first popped up I thought I was going to have one of those long days troubleshooting SharePoint's guts. 

Looking at the log I found out the managed property I was trying to create already existed. 

Update ManageProperty failed Microsoft.SharePoint.Search.Extended.Administration.Common.AdminException: The  managed property  'Location' already exists.

Cmon Microsoft.  This message is a bit misleading.
