You lose control of the property by taking your name off the deed, but will still be responsible for the payments because you’re still on the mortgage. 

It's mostly out of your control, but at least make 1 room comfortable.

I love our delegated model because we keep control of the entire process except for appraisal and title.

This is the second best time to plant a tree...don't wait for things outside of your control because you'll be waiting forever. 

Do not make a decision based on fear of missing out.Condos and townhomes are generally bad investments because you do not control a large potion of the costs.  

Which indicates the seller's are slightly gaining more control.

Directly owned investments (including private lending and directly owned rentals) are great because they give you maximum control and the ability to tweak them exactly how you want.

The reason being every site and project is unique, and while I do attempt to provide a reasonable estimate of what it will take to complete your project there are many factors outside my control.

Anywhere from small contractors, pest control, welding, even crossfit, etc.

There are no price controls on home improvements .
