In CA currently only MF properties are rent controlled.

I've had to file the claim for the property and I hope it isn't too big of a deal because stuff happens that is out of my control. 

Creative strategies like lease options allow investors to control properties without owning them upfront.

Totally out of control.

The way I countered this (still not as good as buying a note with idle cash but I have checkbook control) is the money paid out from a note fund I invested in is at Axos bank.

As a new investor, your best bet is to start small with an app like DealMachine or Propstream so you have direct control of your options.

vs. needing to get checkbook control set up?

@Kevin Duke Since Subject A’s $6M net worth is below the federal estate tax exemption ($13.61M in 2024) and Florida has no estate or inheritance tax, Subject B can inherit the property tax-free with a step-up in basis to the fair market value at the time of death, eliminating capital gains tax if sold immediately.To avoid probate, Subject A can use a Lady Bird Deed (Enhanced Life Estate Deed) or a Transfer on Death (TOD) Deed, which allows automatic transfer to Subject B while retaining full control during their lifetime.

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