Russ Morgan & Joey Mure – Founders, Wealth Without Wall StreetTopic: How to Use the Passive Income Operating System to Escape the 9–5See how to install a simple, scalable financial system that replaces your income and gives you control over your financial future.

You have a tub with jets, a heater, a pump, a control panel, and a cover. 

I'd rather be in control over my properties.I am usually on that same train @Laurent Urich but @AJ Wong is very familiar with the areas he is talking about so it makes it much safer/easier to get something that works and most of those little towns have some commonsense rules overall.You find unreasonable rules and restrictions all over the country.

The crime rate is very high and the property tax is out of control 

But knowing your local market and having boots on the ground is a big advantage, especially when you’re just starting out.A lot of people mitigate the risk by focusing on better neighborhoods where tenant issues tend to be fewer, and some just factor extra reserves into their numbers to cover longer vacancies or legal costs.There’s definitely a trade off between control and convenience in your backyard versus friendlier laws out of state.

Whoever has control, needs to work on making this happen.

How much control do you think you have over real estate values?

@Matt Williams You can get 8%-12% from the stock market (on average) every year...with a LOT less risk and MORE control!

I have two residential lots with no current right of way along a partial access control highway.

It will make its money back easily enough, and the extra control it gives you over bookings is great.
