Don't let it control you and I am glad you asked.You really don't want to rely on appreciation to make up for the poor performance as a STR.This is too much of a risk IMHO.

Trying to cash it out has been challenging -- exchanges go down at inopportune times, and Coinbase's limits mean you can only cash out 780,000 a year -- and that's if you time selling precisely when your limit reaches maximum.There is a huge exchange risk. 

Marco/Norada Capital sends emails that my money is taken and I don't have any control over my money.  

Plus, it gives you more control over quality and timelines.

Still expensive though.And why would you want to invest in a city with rent control?

As we have 100+ year old trees on the property, as well as a pond and year round stream, I think it could also be used for a tiny-home or tiny-office (commercial) community, which would allow me to maintain control of my property long term and providing recurring revenue to me (my company). 

Although RTR does not have control over management issues, it is clear that Zach cares about his clients and will do what he can to help.

Unfortunately no one is going to guarantee that they'll make you a loan; there are too many things that can pop up outside of the lender's control.

Utilities altogether is about $250 a month, internet is $90 a month for the 1T fiber (we want fast internet for 6 people), 5% vacancy, Lawn care $120 a month, Pest control $30 a month, and we do bi-weekly cleaning of the common area at $200 a month.

(Then you have zero vacancy, your business controls its rent increases, etc.)Rent out the garage to another small company.
