I'm a Realtor w/MLS access.

They also use the term access point which I suspect is a single LAN such that one unit equates to one access point in most cases but the term is not crystal Clear to me.We have not gotten past looking into StayFi.  

But if you want low cost, but still have access to that then it's great, as well as all the pyramid scheme programs involved with it :)Personally, I'll agree with @Dan Guenther, that the actual brokerage won't make a huge difference, it is more about who you surround yourself with.

If you need to access some of the equity, a conventional cash-out refinance will have the best terms. 

First step is to check with the city or county to find out what the zoning is and the allowable uses are and what is required for development in terms of lot coverage, setbacks, height restrictions, utilities, access easement, parking,  etc.

It contains hundreds of files such as ebooks, checklists and spreadsheets for real estate investors: https://www.biggerpockets.com/filesGood luck.

Understanding financing options and leveraging MLS access can help start with less money.

This could give you access to the cash you need without selling the properties.

Access to Capital: Fix and flip projects require significant upfront capital - not just for the property purchase, but also for renovation costs.

I would like to avoid providing keys to the tenants and just have them setup and control the codes for access.
