I control all the money and pay all the subs directly.. that's how we got in trouble the first time GC not paying subs..

Hi ALL,Can anyone recommend a easy to use property management tool that we can use, so far, we have 4 rentals and growing, We will like to have better control of the information and have a easy system for tenants to pay rent.As always, thank you for your input!!

So, not really passive.Investing in rReal estate offers a lot more control than investing in stocks, but it also requires an investment of time to do well.

You are controlling significant assets with little money and using the revenue they generate to pay for them. 

The issue I have here is how much control they have over my position, ( they have the right to buy me out at any time).  

Learn to control your spending and pay off debt.

Cannot control association fees3.

Good advice from others, talk with insurance, and get started on damage control. 

The title company that was used for this transaction held things up and unfortunately, we had no control over that.

Starting local offers hands-on experience and control, ideal for learning the ropes, while out-of-state investments can provide better returns but require a reliable property manager.
