No rent control of any kind.

Yes, there is an opportunity for fix and flip, but unless you find the right deal the market prices are out of control.

I control the controllables.

Always interesting to see investors perspectives.Some are just control freaks when it comes to their rentals, which is their right.But, it's interesting that many don't also:- do their own auto repairs- fix their appliances- cut their own grass, do weed & feed- have the same approach at work and do everything themselvesALL businesses have growth limitations without delegation of work!
