One of the primary issues is the impact of rent control policies.

So that was my first partnership, we bought houses and I controlled the whole process and I learned so much.

It is complicated because these investments are long-term, illiquid and completely out of your control.  

The listing agent has already done all the work to streamline the sale on their end, set expectations and control the process.Anyone who has ever worked for 4 months on a FSBO and then the seller decided they are not going to sell after all, knows what I am talking about.

Optionally, use an irrevocable trust for added estate planning benefits, though it limits control.

First step would be to talk to the controlling government body about what you can do with it.

No rent control. 

Well, most of those OTAs have a bunch of premiere partners and still have plenty of limitations on what exactly can be controlled via API and whatnot, so that's not really saying a lot.Doubly worrisome is that there are almost no hands on reviews of Hostaway, and any time the name comes up on BP or Facebook groups there are suddenly a dozen new "users" whose first and only post ever is to talk about how great Hostaway is, without providing any details. 

Dave mentioned control in the TIC but alot of times that is an illusion.

Control everything but own nothing.
