However, if you choose well, this fee should not be affecting your return significantly.The difference with doing it yourself is that you have complete control over it.

Many people find this to be safer, because they are in control of their investment.

I have never had a job not running over schedule and cost beyond control.

At the same time I feel like security cameras and smart locks you control with a smart phone would take care of most of those worries.You could even try using FaceTime with the applicant for an initial phone interview then ask them to text you a picture of their drivers license in case you or the police need to track them down later.

I do believe this to be true being that you can't control what other people do, only what you do.

This will make you more confident and gives you a sense of control at the bargaining table.

I had been planning to go, but a condition that I thought was under control flared up.  

@Tyler LushbaughYou don't need a real estate license per se if you are going to buy and hold or fix and flip, but it gives you the power to control your own destiny and not be at the mercy of real estate agents who are either too busy or extremely uninformed on how to work with investors.

But it's all mine now and I'm in complete control.  

Have they said when the smoke or where the smoke is more noticeable, In a complex I managed a patio smokers fumes went right up and in the above units door.. it's hard to control, best to eliminate if possible.. any cigarette use in common areas is lease infraction, so no halls, laundry rooms, ect for that.
