There have been so many studies on rent control it's ridiculous.

I have been reading many books on finances, rentals, and real estate and feel this is an area I can have more "control" over my investment rather than placing it all in my 401k and hoping for the best. 

If you're only doing a couple or so transactions per year probably ok.On the other hand, you can have more control and eliminate the need to go through a custodian for investments by the use of checkbook IRA or Solo 401k.

It allows for passive returns with increased control and diversification.

A renovation company that has already completed over 350 renovations for us will quickly do whatever touchups/repairs are necessary so we can get the property back on the market.Use electronics to control access and reduce turnover time.

Nore the rent control bullet is CA specific and I do not know how ADUs affect rent control in other jurisdictions. 

There are risks too, when buying condemned and burned-out houses because you may not be able to control the environment where these properties exist.

Control of overall project staying diligent.

In the latter I would much rather have my money and be in control.
