It means instead of having one or a few things that you have NO control of what so ever, you now have several things you have NO control of what so ever.

The answer is that if the lender that's doing the hard money loan is only funding the purchase and not the rehab, they then have less oversight of the project since they're not doing the draws, and thus not seeing the progress of the project and having control of the funds or draws from the rehab to make sure the project is progressing.

Now it's an out of control machine with a lot of financial incestuous relationship in the tupperware farm.I like your analogy.

If you want to grow, then scaling within control is good.

Which gives me much more control of the money/asset management than just leaving it in the market for alot more years.

University of Kentucky and Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government Land Swap: In 2018, the University of Kentucky exchanged 250 acres near its Coldstream Research Campus for control of several important roads in and around campus, contributing to economic development opportunities and improved urban planning. 

AI replies and posts are annoying but hard to maintain/control those.

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.

@Ed Lopez what controls do you have over what they decide to do?

He believes that area where he will be buying the new homes is going to appreciate and attract more MTRenters, but now, the big difference is that he would now have 3 properties that can go up (or potentially down) in value, go up (or down) in rent, and three times as many vacancies to fill.My back of the napkin assessment is that for only a drop in $200 a month in cash flow, he would control a lot more assets with growth potential and as rents rise over the coming years, the combined rents will increase to a total more than the single rent.HOWEVER.
