If you build a 200 unit location of 10/15/20 drive up access it will be worth $1mm day one above your cost.  

Also, some people essentially abandon their properties to the tax collector, because there is some type of flaw with the site, i.e. access, utilities, etc.

So real estate agents have access to the MLS where they can see all of the properties currently available.

I too am searching for a lender that will allow me to access equity on investment my properties.

I too would like a solution that does not require internet access.

I have access to loans at 2%.I have had multiple contractors tell me that my roof will be eligible for an insurance claim due to shingles with storm damage.

Bank of America refuses him access to his funds (while being complete jerks) that they have had in their bank for a week.

My personal policy is with State Farm and so is my landlord policy held under my LLC...and the 2 cannot be accessed online except if my insurance agent connects them...which she has repeatedly said is not possible despite State Farm tech support saying that's the only way. 

Other (besides standard depreciation) off the top of head tax advantages of RE:- cash out refi gives tax deferred access to equity- 1031 for investment properties allow deferring of the gains

And if you're going to manage yourself, it doesn't matter.The pool of buyers decreases as the access to property management decreases.
