Single family homes are exempt from rent control when privately owned.  

When something goes into default, like this property has has, I have little to no control yet assumed a lot of risk. 

I don't see a national rent control law ever coming into law - aside from the fact that there's just no need for it, there's way too many things working against it - Congress, constitutional law, lobbyists, etc.

I am guessing his hands are tied as Norada is simply the marketing company and I am guessing no operational control of Wagner.

Larger cities offer better infrastructure, such as international airports, interstate highways, and a broader talent pool, making them attractive to businesses and tenants.Avoid Rent ControlRent control laws can hinder your ability to adjust rents to match inflation, limit tenant screening, and complicate evictions.

A kitchen fire in the back unit got a little out of control and burned up to the roof.

You have no control over this.

No state income tax, no rent control, and a straightforward eviction process make it one of the more landlord-friendly places to own rentals.

If your debt to income ratio is good, you can control a $700-800k asset with $50k.

The biggest difference to me is that YOU have control of every aspect of an active investment, while somebody else is in “control” of a passive investment.
