There is no rent control on land leases.  

Educate yourself on the differences between checkbook control and custodial control.   

My local market only has one power company so I'm wondering how people systemize this...

I will close by saying I am not expecting a be a multi-millionaire by next year following someone's system.

(Then you have zero vacancy, your business controls its rent increases, etc.)Rent out the garage to another small company. 

Plus, it gives you more control over quality and timelines.

Still expensive though.And why would you want to invest in a city with rent control?

Is most areas, this will determine who (Marshalls Office or Sheriffs Office) will handle the situation when it comes to the eviction.Some squatters know their rights and how to finesse the legal system so be ready for that.

@Jeremy Bloom  the rag on the thermostat can be beat by placing a remote thermostat that is set to the legally required temperature with that remote thermostat actually controlling the temperature.

Maple Grove, STMA, Dayton but Dayton and Rogers are laggards in the school system where STMA and Maple Grove are literally famous school systems.
