@Brandon Nunnink, I was exactly in your position, waiting for my W2 income to catch up with my dreams of financial freedom just wasn't happening, so I took the flipping route(still new) to build liquidity which will then lead to the end game of a portfolio of properties.

As an example, I have been working with an investor who liquidated all of his assets in California and purchased in Orlando and has grown his investment by 15% appreciation value overall in less than a year.

When does the current lease expire?

I have no job, but years of documented investment income.Even when I request less than I have liquid, it's like pulling teeth. 

Lenders want to see that you have liquidity and also don't want to be tied to the exit to get paid.

With the cash-out refinance you are paying interest from day one so it really only makes sense if you have another deal ready to go where you need the liquidity right then and there.

An increase must be approved a minimum of 60 days in advance of the expiration of the lease.  

Sellers who don't need the liquidity have not been willing (in my experience) to come down to risk-adjusted expectations of buyers.

It can be an excellent secondary source of liquidity.

I know there are crowd funding platform that does origination but not sure if there are marketplaces that provide liquidity for the private notes.
