@Rahul Prabhakar Taxes in Texas are out of control.

Interesting discussion about national rent control here- Why Rent Control and Housing Subsidies Backfire: James Burlinghttps://link.theepochtimes.com/mkt_app/epochtv/why-rent-control-and-housing-subsidies-backfire-james-burling-5732950?

In each market I operate in I have someone available for showings this person is usually my runner who is responsible for quality control and restocking inventory but I've also used a cleaner for this.

These type of investments are illiquid, long-term and completely out of your control. 

Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.

There is 10 acres of raw land for sale close by right now and I would love to own it, just to have it, control it, do what I want with it and pass it down to the family.

If you own majority and are able to control hoa which comes with its own headache and not totally passive that can help .  

Even if every Concrete crew was "legal", wages would pull them to other low paid laborer jobs such as landscaping, house framing, meat packing, etc, causing wages and cost to go up for new Self Storage Construction, let alone availability.Security Systems- yep sourced overseas, China.Interest rates going lower, but I expect Inflation to go higher.

With the new rent control policies, there is zero incentive to lower rent as it may take years before you could recoup that with the minimal increases they allow. 

So this is what I want to do and then build my own systems/sales team.Any advice or experience is appreciated.
