They can be used in situations of control or hope.

@Earl White rent control and relocation costs equals NOT landlord friendly in my opinion.

We do long-term rentals and practice BRRRR on every deal. 

Not sure how you believe they could control their cash flow. 

Our Florida mortgage practice was basically shut-down for 4 weeks due to Hurricanes Helene and Milton.

Some fear losing control, while others are unsure how to structure a fair and profitable partnership.

I've been analyzing a couple deals in the OH market recently to get some practice (my research tells me it's one of the few decent cash flowing markets).

Post Dodd Frank sellers have continued the same bad practice of selling houses to occupants with financing at selling prices that are way high, can't be justified via any type of 3rd party valuation (appraisal, zestimate, tax value, even recent sales in the same area).   

There's lots of opportunities in developing neighborhoods, but also seems a bit saturated at the moment.Also, definitely budget security (remote control cameras, alarm system, etc.) for your properties, as there are a lot of people who occupy themselves by breaking into houses and stealing anything they can sell.Lastly, there are a ton of contractors looking for a quick buck.

A mentor should have practical experience and proven success.
