Then I(we) control everything.I know there are details to work out, and I am still in the thinking/planning phase, while I continue to save money, but is this a conceivable plan?

In my mind, you only have control over how you market the property and how your respond to leads and where you price it.  

I would say that my problem or "bad" experience isn't really with RTR directly, its more so with their affiliates like the property provider or lender or property manager, etc. and I don't know how much control RTR has with their affiliates. 

I have clients that have these kinds of arrangements, and while it is easier when an org fills your units, you can lose control of maintenance and cleanliness.

You should secure that switch (or that area), so you can control who accesses it. 

Love to hear that your life is in your complete control now...not someone else's

Cameras showed it was the pest control person.  

For instance, we stopped originating these three rehab programs and instead originate a construction loan on our balance sheet that we have complete control over.

It’s a short dead end road so I have this notion to own the whole street and control the look and quality of the neighborhood . 

If you had bigger cabins only, definitely not.One thing I would add though is that your returns are somewhat based on your purchase price which you can control.
