But then my LLC will need a down payment and I wont have access to the equity right?

--I changed my remaining mortgages from biweekly to monthly payments because that lowers overall interest.My loan is serviced by Northpointe and there was a solid 2 week wait to get access to the account after closing.  

Quote from @Andy Port: I'm currently looking to take some money out of traditional investments and begin investing directly into real estate as a passive investor on syndicated deals.The internet is pretty much copy-paste with advice on how to access real estate and defaults to saying "Just invest in a REIT - its the same" except you pay for the entire pool of existing properties (even if they have low yields in less opportunistic areas), the entire management team's multi-million dollar salary and their private jet, etc...

You have a right to maintain your property and the tenant must give you access.

Not to mention that Norada still is advertising private investment opportunities paying 17%, etc.

Looking into doctor/dentist groups that have capital to invest is also another avenue to access capital.You want to transition from a hunter out there looking for investors, to a farmer who is cultivating investors with content and providing values.Unfortunately, it takes time and effort, but it cane be done.

And are you simply advertising for rent?

Newer, better routers can have more than one account, each with their own ID and password.The problem with a shared router is that only one tenant has direct access if the router needs to be reset.

I have been in discussions with someone that specializes in SEO and lead generation for real estate investors, vetted him through references, and he seems to be as advertised.

A large tree fell during the storm last week and took the stairs out so the tenant has no way to access the unit until we can fix the power lines and remove the tree which we're working on.
