Do you feel this is controllable or that it's mostly up to chance who succeeds and who fails? 

So then Nick ask everyone who is interested to learn everything there is to real estates (he explained earlier - to secure your future you got to have knowledge which then you gain control and thus less risk - i thought that made sense) to now stand up and go to the back and sign up as seats are already filled.

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?
