Our neighbors Airbnb their 2 bedroom on our block and make about $5k per month as a reference point.Any ideas as to how to access equity or how to start are welcome and appreciated. 

Low fees and solid ACH accessibility. 

I did that for my first house in 2000 and lived there until we had kids and grew out of the space.

Does anyone know of Commercial Rental areas that have live-in space.

Your inspector will look for structural integrity issues, life safety issues/fire hazards and inspect your MEP Systems to make sure Electrical panel, wiring, piping, hot water heater & HVAC systems are acceptable/good working condition.Roof/Crawlspace/Attic InspectionsIf you are afraid of heights and don't want to get on the roof, crawl around in a dirty creepy crawl space or climb around in a haunted attic, an inspector can inspect these areas.  

We are kinda in a rush because I’ll rental lease is up in 6 months’ and we need the space.

If you have dead equity you can access and still have positive cash flow properties there is no reason you should sell, unless they are SFHs.

I would say its tougher these days to find easy flips in the multifamily space, but if you are looking to buy/hold for rental income you can cash flow about $1000/mo (after debt service) on a $500,000 building (4-6 flat) in several areas.  

It would be no different than a home with a divided road in front, only one direction gives you access.

I have access to notes just not super versed in that area.
