OK got it.. no different than going to a Tony Robbins event you have all the likely suspects selling their version of how to get rich and or take control of your personal affairs.

If you wish to buy rentals using your retirement funds you simply need a self-directed IRA (or Checkbook IRA if you wish to have more control). 

While some property management companies may prefer to control the listing for operational convenience, it’s crucial that you, as the owner, retain ownership to safeguard your reviews, booking history, and overall control of the property.

Assuming you are not subject to rent control, file the Failure to Pay Rent form and start eviction proceedings.

My personal soapbox statement - Airbnb is an abusive spouse that slowly people are waking up to realize they are in a controling abusive relationship and they start to develop an escape plan (more platforms/direct website) so they are no longer relying on Airbnb.

The MTR was to get around the SFH becoming a 2 unit and under rent control with an LTR.

You can have control and build a business, and learn hands on.

Hey @Ruth Reyes, I agree with both @John Underwood AND @James Carlson.I never really look hard at condo's due to the HOA fees and the fact that a controlling member can rule the roost.For example we almost bought a ski condo at the Inn of the 7th Mountain in Bend Oregon.

In order to get out of Freddie Mac's "Limited Multifamily Experience Sponsor" category, you must have ultimate ownership & control of either (i) 3 multifamily properties [1 of which you've owned for at least 2 years], or (ii) 1 multifamily property which you've owned for at least 5 years. 

For outside lighting if possible invest in good quality solar exterior lighting to help control the electrical costs.
