One of my biggest challenges and personal goals in 2025 is to let go of some of the control. 

Jersey City tends to fluctuate with rent control laws, right now they are more favorable for landlords then they have been in the past.   

If this is a single family, they are responsible for pest control.

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

Greene.Tenants should be responsible for ordinary pest control.

If you put in an offer at 85% of list price on every decent home on mls in your targeted area, you're going to get a house or two that should only need cosmetic rehab - which you could control the costs better.  

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.

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.

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.

Chris seems like a great person that is passionate about helping others take control of their money.
