He's a really smart guy when it comes to supply, demand, rent control, and overall investing

I never buy condos for this exact reason, having someone else control my investment.

If your property has a history of termite damage, you may be wondering whether an annual pest control service is worth the investment.

You have to understand your rights and maintain control of the situation. 

It’s flexible and can help you fund deals quickly.Lease Options: Similar to “rent-to-own,” you control a property with minimal upfront costs and can potentially get a cut of the appreciation if you decide to buy it later.Lines of Credit: If you already own a property with equity, a HELOC or business line of credit can give you accessible funds for down payments or renovation costs.House Hacking: This might sound basic, but if you haven’t tried it, it can be a fast track to building up rental income and experience without a ton of cash down.

They're not investors so the market prices and FED rates control them.

For Guys the main things that come to mind are: 1) Property damage2) Neighbor complaints3) NOT calling about repairs that need to be made4) Prolonged turnover times For Girls they are:1) Parental involvement/helicopter parents2) Pest control 3) Security issues (i.e. house is broken into)4) Roommate dramaBoth can be incredibly difficult to deal with for sure.

I don't see rates dropping, especially if they can't control inflation, which was supposed to be under control, but appears not.

Sure- Idaho has state laws outlawing rent controls.

Yes, there are things that are out of your control, but my personal POV is the whole "I need an LLC" is a little overblown.
