We're in a rural, resort area so foot traffic is still a real source of leads for us, especially during the tourism season. 

Other than non recourse loans, looking for ways to get additional leverage from my SD IRA which I have checkbook control over through an LLC.

Some of the differences with SFR that make them less valuable than otherwise similar comps are location on a busy street, smaller lot, bad condition, structural defects, higher tax area, different school zones, different deed restrictions, access to main roads, rush hour traffic, obsolete or unpopular architectural style, inferior finishes, time since remodeling, age of roof, flooring, and others too numerous to mention.To get the discount to fit your formula, you’d probably need to find a house needing significantly more than $15k of work.

Though I suppose that still...that money isn't touchable until at least 59.5... but at least you'd have some control.

(I guess you also need to take into account the smaller discount you'd be giving them next year if you raise the rent slowly over multiple years).Also, thanks for the reminder that investments in most of the country don't have to consider rent control at all!

You obviously cannot control the driver next to you, so those 2 are your only choices.

If you are in a well below market rent controlled apartment in San Francisco yeah it makes sense to invest elsewhere and continue to rent. 

A 3 BD room Single Family Home with no to minimal HOA fees (For now, I'm kinda ruling our Townhouses/Condos because they always seems to have a high  monthly HOA and there's no control over any special assessment fees they might throw at you).2.

@Michael Chang My wife and I only have 1 AirBnb, so we can "control" our reviews. 

My town does not have rent control, and the house is on a residential street where most people own their SF homes, and the street is zone for single family homes.Can the municipalities not allow me to rent each floor separately?
