After moving out it would be cash flowing negatively around -$1,200/month before taking into consideration capex, maintenance, etc. but while living there and renovating the unit we will have gained approximately $125,000 in equity.Property #2: 3-bedroom unit with a separate basement entrance that could be converted into a 1-bedroom basement apartment, but in a slightly less appreciating neighborhood.

A new entrance door.  

Some, like FIBI, charge a nominal entrance fee to defer the room rental and beverages.

The shopping center probably has other entrances Im guessing, but it still looks like this road provides additional connections to their development.It is mentioned there is a shared access easement here, which is what I would expect.

I own MTR's in a San Antonio medical center and I can give you this advise: Traveling nurses/professionals are looking for small accommodations (lower price point), they are concerned with safety, as they are usually women traveling alone, well-lit walkways by their parking spot, private entrances/bath/laundry.

Maybe house-hack by renting other rooms in your space or a separate entrance to the basement (which would allow you to short-term rent that space).

You have paint and other items in one of the photos near the entrance.

Entrances. ????

Has no amenities but a nice view of the beach from the deck and the entrance is only a few feet from the sand. 

The property is right on the main road entrance to the base.
