There are some non-financial reasons for having to buy a new construction that are out of my control, but I'm looking for advice in helping me decide the best route between 3 options (purchase will be all cash): Option 1: 3 bed/ 2.5 bath townhome in Wesley Chapel (near the lagoon). 

While RTR cannot control any one particular builder, market changes, interest rate changes, etc. we are certainly here to offer guidance and resources however needed.

1) With rent control, it keeps inventory low, thus high appreciation for rents.2) Higher dollar appreciation. 3% increase on a $1M value is higher than a 3% appreciation on a $100,000 value. 3) Same as #2 but with rents.4) Because of the above, you could argue that you are generating a higher net worth faster. 5) Expensive markets like LA, NY, and SF can be great for house hackers.6) Because I first bought in LA and then bought a second house hack, I have been able to leverage business partner, HELOCs, and a 1031 exchange and now have 15 doors between four states and I haven't had to put a down payment of my own money (or at least BRRRR and got my money back).

However, be cautious as banks may still enforce the clause if they detect the transfer of control.

Yes, there is no telling on what happened behind closed doors regarding David and Rob leaving, but David expressed that he wanted to have more control on who they interviewed.

So there is a miss-match and you end up paying more then you should.This is true for a small Canadian Controlled Private Corporation (CCPC) with "active" income - e.g. they manufacture widgets or provide a service to folks owning widgets.  

Hi BP Community, I am currently in the process of setting up SDIRA with Check book control to do my flips.

Unfortunately, factors beyond our control often dictate these decisions.

You have to do lots of damage control in that buisness and be a strong negotiator. 

Sellers are in complete control.
