But then those prior year losses come in and they are unlocked, no matter how high your income is, and you can sometimes make a lot of your tax exposure on the gain disappear with those prior year losses.It's not the bummer you're currently thinking it is. 

Tenant #1 has no problems completing the credit/background once the system is unlocked and I have already verified employment and references so I don't see any red flags per se but they haven't completed the application process.

You may have to unlock the property for them if they want back in...crazy I know.

@BrandonTurner always said this like a gun safe that just needs to be unlocked.

Consider the seller's position when negotiating terms, it may unlock some possibilities that lead to a beneficial scenario for both parties. 

She was advised to have it gifted to me and in turn do a cash-out refi in order to unlock the equity in the property to pay everyone and also a little extra for repairs.

She can always refinance as I suggested earlier unlocking the money you had tied up and also giving her access to some equity.

My mom has a considerable amount of equity tied up in her house and it makes sense for her to unlock some of that cash now to take care of a modest amount of other higher interest debt.

Etc.I'll start:  I just ordered 2 August deadbolts that I can lock and unlock from my phone as long as I have electricity in my unit and a deadbolt on my door. 

You need to analyze three or four deals a day for a month and you'll get a hang of it. that way you won't rely on somebody else to tell you what a good deal is you'll just rely on your agent to unlock doors and make offers.
