When things "blow up" with a large group of kids, it can get very, very ugly and we want to have documentation that we've done the right things in a reasonable amount of time.We also require a "House Mom" or a "House Dad" for all of our properties.

a lot of successful investors I know and have spoken with have not done incredibly sexy strategies that seem to blow me away.

People who are wealthy buy their time back before they blow the grossly increase their standard of living.

I think you're right, the lack of control is probably going to be your biggest emotional hurdle.There may be some middle ground that softens that blow up. 

Blows my mind that someone who is using your property can treat it so poorly! 

Despite blowing through all performance projections it was just an endless stream of ridiculous requests for reports and information (beyond what was agreed to in the operating agreement) only to satisfy a junior analyst that probably hadn't stepped foot on a property in his very young life.  

They get some extra money and they blow it on IMMEDIATE GRATIFICATION!

All from agents , they were blowing up my phone

I typically don't like to try and "time the market" but it's good to have a sense of where the wind is blowing. 

This is just mind blowing the extent of lies, distortion, manipulation.....
