Here is my short list:Comprehensive lender control panel with servicing notes, status on unpaid taxes, payment history, etcA 'control center' to deploy force placed insurance, and ability to have servicer send CFPB required letters to borrowerTax tracking integration Loss mitigation services with active updates to lender on control panelAn active discussion board style system that lets the lender have a dialog with servicing staff on any matter.

Why would you pay money to let other people control your property?

They are not building enough houses to meet demand which means landlords (who didn't buy in rent control areas) will keep driving up rents and enjoying more cash flow.

My "why" started out as running from the pain of other people controlling my life and threatening my future.

An alternative to custodial SD IRA is Checkbook IRA, which allows you to have a checkbook control over your retirement funds just like Solo 401k does. 

@Bernard Chouinard If you are going to have self-employment, then you could consider rolling it over into a Solo 401 with checkbook control.  

One thing to be aware of I'd the rent control laws in DC. 4 units and you are fine bit once you hit the 5th you will become subject to rent control.

It is worth keeping in mind that the Fed controls the short-term rates, not the long term ones (now that they stopped buying long term treasuries and even then it was indirectly), which are much more influenced by the long-term expectations of inflation and the international flow of money (think, is there instability in Russia that causes Russians to pull out their money out of the country and invest it in the safe-heaven like US, is the unpredictable and shifting US policy going to keep the US dollar's status as the de facto world currency, etc).
