Rent control is price control, the stock economy doesn't have it.4.

By no means does someone have to be a constant hard-*** to be in control of their business and just because a landlord approaches tenant relations differently than you do does it mean they are afraid or uncomfortable being the boss or enforcing their lease.

State LL/T laws got more strict last legislative session in various ways,   and the biggest risk going forward is that we will get statewide rent control similar to OR or CA.   

You can't control what the interest rate is, and each scenario has its pros/cons.However, you CAN get clarity on what your goals are and then work your way backwards to figure out whether or not selling or refinancing makes sense currently. 

The increased flexibility gives you more control and enables you to select which repayment option best fits your needs.

I assume you have checkbook control, otherwise you would just go to the custodian for questions like this. 

Here are a few points to the comments you made:- no rent control, rent prices have jumped drastically year over year- no squatters, Gov Desantis just signed an anti squatter law (House Bill 621)- high US interest rates, cash buyers have substantial leverage in negotiation as interest rates have kept domestic buyers at bay- no signs of slowing down, everywhere you look you will see world-class developments in the works let me know if you'd like to discuss further

I also am able to offer more to purchase because we have full control of terms.

I think we need to keep blaming the landlords and introduce additional rent control legislation to fix the issue. 

Don't let money or greed take control of your relationship with your brother.
