I don't see a national rent control law ever coming into law - aside from the fact that there's just no need for it, there's way too many things working against it - Congress, constitutional law, lobbyists, etc.

Target neighborhoods like Brewerytown, Kensington, and Point Breeze, where demand and ARV potential are currently strong.Your skills in renovations will give you a significant edge in controlling costs and boosting returns.

These typically include services like renters insurance, HVAC filter delivery, pest control, and sometimes utility management.

It means instead of having one or a few things that you have NO control of what so ever, you now have several things you have NO control of what so ever.

If there was no appreciation, there is no need to do a 1031 exchange.I have never been a fan of condo's as you lose some control over the investment - You have no control over the monthly maintenance fees, you may not have control over who is on the board, you have no control over special assessments.I wish the investments turn out well for you!

I didn’t control my money, it controlled me.

Real Estate, Wellness, and Community ImpactAs I move into 2025, I’m focused on deepening my faith and prioritizing wellness, mental health, self-control, and discipline.

I would like to work out a payment plan whereby they pay me while I have control of the rights to the mortgage then in 10 years I pay off the principal.

Just thank your deity that you don’t live in a rent controlled city/state.
