If the entire development is new the builder likely still has control of the HOA until a certain % of units are sold.

Therefore I would look into the legal remedies to the situation, in particular the by-laws controlling noise or your condo's HOA.

You have to be a very niche player in this market IMHO.

@Ryan PaltridgeHey Ryan, i am in the process of puting an offer on a vacant multi family property in ironbound, but my concern is would there be any limitations to how much rent I can ask for by the rent control board?

If you are able and willing to do some of the work yourself, you can save a good deal that will help you control prices but remember, the trade-off is that the project will take longer and increase holding costs or renovation costs.Finally, be willing to use us on BP as a resource. 

I ask because I’m looking to buy an apartment in Oakland, CA to live in at first, but I’d like to rent it out eventually and ideally not have it be subject to rent control.

HOA=no total control of your own property.Hope this helps.

Can anyone provide their input on Latch access control systems?

You'll want to look into whether there are any existing "controlling interest" statutes implicated in the jurisdiction where the property is located.

Crowdfunding makes real estate easily accessible, however, in regard to institutional real estate investments, the advice of an expert who works in the industry every day, knows all the players and their track records, and performs due diligence on each offering is a great benefit to you and comes to you at no cost.
