Did your primary become rent controlled and if not what exempted it from rent control?  

Your investment is secured by the underlying property. preREO is a new, very creative and now proven format for local real estate investors to obtain control of a property before it goes to REO where everyone will have access to bid and drive up the price.

I'd like to speak to the it's the owner not the dog, it's a bit like the gun control issue.

Regarding the HOA and CC&R's, the builder can make changes to the CC&R's pretty easily while the development is under Declarant Control.

The sooner you regain control, prove that you fully intend to enforce the terms of your lease, and that you will not be 'played' by their recall of events or documents, the more effective this action will be.  

Despite the inability to claim depreciation or avoid certain taxes, many investors appreciate the control an SDIRA offers, allowing them to invest directly in real estate and other alternative assets they are passionate about.I do not recommend buying tax-efficient assets like RE in the already tax-efficient IRAs.

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..

There’s not much I can do to control the Bay Area real estate market, and our property has gone down in value since we purchased it.

In other words, all the other MTR hosts are dealing with the same expense.To control this expense, I always recommend an utility cap where tenants are charged for any usage over an established dollar amount.  

Pricing tools that exist on the market are decent, but you also need to know how to control it, otherwise, it will go nuts with unrealistic rates far out and extreme last-minute discounts.
