@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. 

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.

I wouldn't worry too much yet but if after a couple more days of no activity, I would bring the price down a bit to be closer to the top end of the market and see if there are recent comparables that have been rented (especially if you have access to the MLS)

@Josh GregoryEdgewater has some good blocks and there is certainly a lot of activity as it is basically wedged between Ohio City and Lakewood.

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.

He has great Sub connections too as he has flipped several properties in the market.Comparable financing is everywhere, it's not anyone's road block if you are ready and by ready I mean you have decent credit and 50k. 

I am in KC and have access to fourplexes here. 

You can block callers etc. there is more.

Or you will need to come in with cash of your own if you want to purchase your replacement propety for cash.Your idea of starting with the 1031 to access 100% of the equity is smart.

For the basics I'm looking at a half acre of land for 150k Duplex Manu 3/2 1900 sqft per side 230KConstruction is roughly 150kThe rent minimum i would expect is 2500 per side and could probably stretch it a little because of the amount of land they would have access to.
