The goal is a great life and control of your time, not the maximum door count.

But just be aware that the property taxes are hard to control, and you would want to fight them every year (b/c the appraisal district will likely increase your property valuation every year).

Someone is making medical decisions for them, so they should have the legal control over their finances to make sure bills are being paid.

Even if you had a GC to run your project, that doesn't give you the experience of running a project b/c you have someone else that has more control on site.

-No rent controls of any kind statewide. 

Ultimately I like to control my own notes so its not for me personally. 

you got 3 out of 4 investments back under control I think you did well being the squeaky wheel..  

One bit of advice is scaling too fast if the market changes and factors out of your control (interest rates, job cuts, rent decline, job loss) have enough in reserves to weather those storms.

Also, just an FYI if the condo/townhouse was built prior to 1978, it is likely subject to Los Angeles Rent Control.

The cost of repairs and tradesmen seems to have skyrocketed after covid, a simple pest control for ants costs above $250, whole house paint of a 1400 sq ft 3 bed house costs $4k or more, a new HVAC costs about $6k, a plumbing repair costs $200 or more, a new water heater costs $1000-$1500.
