My wife has worked as an administrative assistant for much of her adult life, and I’ve been working (for over 20 years) in ophthalmology (Retina specialty), as a technician and biomedical photographer.

I have considered locking the hot tub, and charging people an extra 150 per day if they want to unlock it.  

We let them go through the unit by themselves after my property manager unlocked the door beforehand.

But if I parked on the street and found my car had been towed and a valet ran interference with multiple agencies, negotiated a fair unlock fee with the towing company, ensured nobody had put a lien on the ticket, and then was there to help you jump start the car, I'd probably pay the valet more than a tip.

In search of a photographer that can take photos of properties after we renovate them.

However once I get my first property under my LLC thats free and clear, then I can unlock that equity take out a loan against it, right?

The front door has two fence gates with houses to the left and right of them and if the gates were unlocked it would access the main street.

If it is just 5 units...I would consider combining two of the units into 1 to create a 4 unit building, thus unlocking some value.
