Bay Area, did a local renovation where I was able to do walk throughs with the contractor, and have pretty good control of this property, can check on it multiple times a week.

So although you have HOA dues, sometimes it isn't enough and you don't have control over that cost (if it goes up, special assessments, etc.).2.

@Matthew HoldenDo you have checkbook control or full custodial SDIRA?   

Networking through local meetups or REIAs can connect you with experienced investors and potential mentors.With your REITs as a passive foundation, physical properties could give you more leverage and control.

This method gives you more control and is often a faster way to build wealth.Forcing appreciation allows you to create value rather than waiting and hoping for the market to rise.

Just because the cost of the utility is included, doesn't mean you can control if it works or doesn't work.

For existing companies, individuals who own at least 25% of the entity or exercise substantial control over it must submit BOIR to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) by December 31, 2024.

If so, consider that with a stock you have NO CONTROL whereas with your rentals you have quite a bit of control over how the business is run and how successful it is.

Lease Options: Structure a lease option for the property you're flipping, allowing you to control the property while securing financing through the lease payments.By combining these strategies, you can create a unique financing plan tailored to your specific project and financial situation.

You lose control of the property.
