Independent insurance agents can also help compare rates across multiple providers, and they might have access to options that aren’t available directly.

The most basic step is to ensure that our form is in a highly visible, easy-to-access location where visitors can simply fill in their name, email, phone number, and property address.It’s honestly ridiculous that the BBB accreditation is ABOVE the form where the lead should input their details for your acquisition agent to contact them!

The only reason to get your license in your context would be to get access to view vacant investment properties for yourself on your own schedule and for access to the MLS.

In Florida, I've drafted lease provisions where the landlord has access to certain portions of the premises during the tenancy, but never for actual occupancy.

@Ashley AndersonTypically a HELOC and HEL are second mortgages and they can be a good way to access capital to invest, but the problem with using them is the interest rate is typically even higher than the debt you can get on the new purchase, so they might not be a great idea unless you plan to aggressively pay them down when you use them. 

So if you are self managing your property and it’s under an LLC and you lock the doors and do not give them access - guess what - the tenant does not sue the LLC fairy - they sue the LLC and the person who committed the act.

Do you want tenants to have access to a portal where they can make rent payments, submit maintenance requests, and view lease terms?
