An alternative is to get a manual fence with a wheel on the bottom so that tenants can pull up, unlock the gate with a copy of a key you've given them, and then enter.

Keep your primary/first in place and see if you can get a second mortgage or a HELOC. that keeps your original low rate and unlocks some of the additional equity you are trying to pull out.

There is access to "my space" via a door which I keep unlocked in the event of an emergency. 

So that means you can't remotely unlock the door on demand - you have to wait until the heartbeat timer wakes the door up. 

Couldn't get in although they thought the doors were unlocked.

It allows you to unlock this "TruOwner" feature where it basically skip traces the LLC and tells you who the owners are.

Step two unlocks your passive losses.You don't need a license of any sort.

My strategy tends to look for stuff that is undervalued and needs a little work and TLC to unlock it's potential - elbow-grease projects, I call them.Do I understand why the thing is under-valued?

@Carson DuVall as @Chris Seveney one option is to get a W2--which can unlock a lot of other options...Another option (that you could combine with getting a W2) is to do a house hack of a single fam or small multifam property (I'm a huge proponent of house hacking--partly because it can simultaneously increase your income while decreasing your expenditures, thereby "unlocking" other investment opportunities that you might not otherwise have access to--which is the fundamental recipe for building wealth).For instance, when I was younger, I house hacked a new property almost every 12 months for years on end.

Luckily he vacated the place and left the home unsecured with 2 windows open the back door open and the front door was left unlocked.
