Brandon Turner here on BP has written a few good books to help.Lessons Learned:  Never let your emotions get in the way. 

Single family homes are exempt from rent control when privately owned.  

The biggest difference to me is that YOU have control of every aspect of an active investment, while somebody else is in “control” of a passive investment.  

Quote from @Danielle Levy: Agreed with everyone on this thread, this does not warrant a lawsuit due to those things that could have been controlled by you as the homeowner.

That bet didn't pay...At the end of the day, deportations and tariffs are things us RE investors can't control, so instead, focus on things you can control. 

Mostly NYC real estate companies uses Yardi Voyager and not the Yardi Breeze that most people here in BP uses.Even if you get a job that uses Yardi, you will have limited access on what you can and cannot do just because the role you are in unless you are a Controller/CFO.

Walk us through a solution that doesn't involve government command and control.

IRS 590 also explains this.5) When you receive a distribution or otherwise get paid back, never take personal control of the money.

In property management, you're responsible for overseeing properties that may either represent investment assets or hold significant emotional value to their owners, such as a childhood home.

One thing that hasn't been brought up is if you put a property in an LLC, it MAY be subject to California Rent Control, even if it is a single family home.
