It was out of necessity and the landlordship fell t o me.

Now for the questions for you to consider: Do you have access the the EM? 

But it would be hard to buy a home without access to the mls and an agent to allow you access.

-It provides a barrier to entry against casual trespass-It gives a sense of security to the customer-It allows the owner to deny entry to owing accounts -It can be keypad operated for only valid tenants or time operated for access hours; either way it minimizes the need for staff involvement-It allows "tracking" of tenant access to identify trouble patterns.When I first started this current development, I had an automatic gate before I had any actual tenants

I have the 3.5% I need to obtain it, however, those funds are tied up in another asset that I cannot access for some time.

I NEED access to pre-foreclosures, foreclosures, and distressed properties, not some turnkey SFR that I can't cashflow or rehab. 

As long as you have access to a lot of capital to fund renovations, vacancy, and unexpected items, not to mention can handle the stress,  and trust me--t will be a lot, and it's a lot of stuff no one  (except BP!)

I only need to pay off the small existing subject-to loan, and beyond that, I want cash flow and *access* to cash, not actual cash in the bank that I have to pay interest on while I'm not using it.)

It’s all publicly accessible.
