Did Rent Control INCREASE housing inventory? 

I’m trying to learn from operators who have experience acquiring or controlling small multifamily properties (15–25 units) in secondary markets, especially in cases where a traditional bank-first acquisition isn’t the cleanest path.Specifically, I’m curious about control-first approaches where the buyer/operator takes over operations first and aligns incentives with ownership before an eventual purchase or refinance.For those who’ve executed deals like this in the real world:What situations make this approach work best from the owner’s perspective?

Looking for advice on marketing the property to either students + parents for long term renting, or to travel nurses, etc. for medium term. 

Properties in rent controlled areas tend to have stronger appreciation due to the housing shortage caused by rent control 

In talks with my agent, he recommended that my parents take out a HELOC on their own home to cover the 65,000 and buy the house cash to get around the down payment and closing cost.

Hi Brian, As an OOS investor and someone who have worked with over 50+ investors in the Milwaukee market,I would suggest having control over as much as possible.

I have a 85 year old tenant in Los Angeles County under rent control he’s paying $850 on a $3200 apartment.

Also, we are new parents to a 7 month old, so crazy year!

The parent LLC owns a commercial/storage building that we rent to our other business.

Also, if they are different, do I have the same amount of control in both situationships?
