Hey Liad - Condos can pose some challenges mostly due to monthly association fees, limited control over the property, and potential for slower appreciation compared to single-family homes.

Hi Alex,Thanks for the mention.Unfortunately, investors sometimes expect providers to subsidize all loss of income incurred on a property which isn't feasible.We do our best to minimize costs and in many instances "eat a cost" that we shouldn't.Can't control "acts of God" or the weather/other people lolAs we all should know, there are ups and down's with real estate investing.Business is easy and people make it difficult as the saying goes.Our PM never just throws "a body" into a property just to call it "tenanted"Why?

This strategic foresight in acquiring and controlling prime locations demonstrates the power of real estate as a fundamental asset class, offering lessons on location selection, long-term value creation, and the integration of real estate into broader business models.

Direct lenders also have full control over their guidelines, meaning if something does not check all their boxes, they can make exceptions to close your deal.

If you decide to get a Sun Tunnel type of device, get the ones with the rigid and inner mirrored tubes.Just like I don't try to answer questions involving financing, investing in entities that I'm not familiar with, etc... perhaps you shouldn't discuss items that you are unfamiliar with!?

If you are looking in Los Angeles, most complexes built prior to 1978 will be subject to Los Angeles Rent Control.

High interest for a short duration that you control seems like the way to go to me. 

I think our area offers the appreciation California does without the rent control and high rentals.

So yes, it's a compounding pharmacy and I was sort of picturing mixing things with a mortar and pestle type device. 

@Tom Pubins you can use other systems to control the chaos on the MLS.
