Right now, it feels like this might just be a way for the tenant to try and take control of the situation.

Let go of what you cannot control, and become a lot more emotionally stable to start investing.

Reverse Mortgages (HECM or Home Equity Conversion Mortgage) can be a FANTASTIC tool! 

It's absolutely fantastic.

But because you rent by the room and YOU SELECTED the roommates (for which the other roommates had no control over), that makes you directly responsible to the other tenants should any harm or damage come to them.  

Worrying everyday about getting fired for something out of your control?

I’m so sorry to hear about the support experience you’ve had, I would love the oppertunity to personally help you have a fantastic experience with RentRedi.

In the last few years, they've made illegal:-Rent controls of any kind-Limiting of fees or screening charges-The ability of HOAs to regulate STRs or LTRs in their neighborhoodThat's just the start.

I've been here since the beginning, or real close to, and am happy to help you navigate and learn the site.As for where to invest, it depends on your goals, your tolerance for risk, and how much control you want.  

You have more control over the timing.
