It may seem harsh to terminate her tenancy, but they are in an emotional time and "comfort of home" may feel better now.

Landscaping and Pest control seem cheap to me, but not knowing location, there's no way to actually know. 

The issue with that property was we didn't control the rehab under budget and timeframe.

I still think syndication investing is fine within a self directed Roth IRA (or traditional IRA).The hold time on a syndication may only average about 5 years, which means when investing outside a syndication you are usually recapturing that depreciation anyways at a time you cannot choose/control as a limited partner.

House hacks are not like a traditional investment property and admittedly a little more emotion will play into whether it's going to work or not for you.

Even if their license is expired, the commission may be able to reach them and motivate them to send funds to you and communicate long enough to get control of your property back.Start looking for a new property manager.

I guess RentRedi wants to control everything and everyone involved in their system.

If you fail to pay your mortgage, the first lien can get control of the property or recoup money from the loan guarantor - probably you.

None of your investors can singlehandedly exert any control on the asset they've invested in.

The new homes will be mostly built in the burbs, and I expect as we move forward outside of many city limits or in smaller cities where the builders can control the narrative with less regulations, less inspections, less red tape, lower requirements.Due to the number of people moving though, we'll see some urban infill as well I expect.
