In fact, one of the main reasons I STARTED investing in real estate was control.

Lead laws are a bit out of control...the city is just trying to protect themselves...when they should be helping with the situation...

@Kody Digre The agreement controls.

@Kendrick Smith take it slow and get this property under control and stabilized.

all three are distinctly different in form and function.roofstock is more of a MLS type system highly automated representing civilian sellers by and large and some turn key companies will list their stock on Roofstock.. its pretty snazzy however after care is between you and the PM.Homeunion has some hybrid of turnkey marketing company in the same vane as Jason Hartman Maverick Norada etc.MI is what many consider the gold standard in turn key investing.. very deep experience in the space.. and control all aspects..

Some people seek independence from needing a 9-5 job so their objective it to earn enough from owning, controling or managing real estate assets  to both pay all of their bills and even beyond that earn enough spendable dollars that they can use an in income on top of everything all the while building up assets which in the end they will own outright and have all the money that can come for the value of their assets in the long haul. 

I want to provide the tenants a safe place realizing I cannot control everything. 

I have had Orkin come out and now am on to a local pest control company. 

You take control of it by producing your own business and your own leads.
