There exists some decent solutions for controlling a dehumidifier remotely.

Can you get direct control of the asset?

Rent Control is a two sided issue.

While you can’t completely control who applies to live in your properties, you most definitely can find areas that are popular with students, young professionals, families, etc. 4) just as important as finding the property, you need to have an exit strategy in mind for the property.

The condo association has funds for the owner to complete the rehab and the owner has to option to request draws or take the money and control the rehab themselves. 

Quote from @Lauren Kormylo: The main reason to want direct bookings is to have control over your bookings ........  

The HOA told me they require a sound dampening rating of 67% for upstairs units, and I ended up getting CoreTec ProPlus which has a 57 STC (sound transmission control) rating (I had to call the manufacturer to get that info). 

You can control the investor's ability to exercise the option... placing "not exercisable before" type language in the document.Options are advantageous over JV to avoid partner disagreements. 

Just looking for some justification for not taking control of my life and taking action, seems like this should do the trick. 

FYI - The entire city of Newark is under rent control
