Turnkey Rental Income Properties
Anyone have experience buying turnkey rental properties? Are they honest properties and can they save time from flipping a property for rental income? Any and all info on these properties is helpful. I'm looking to get started in investing but new at it and short on funds. Thanks in advance

Generally, turnkey properties are more expensive than the DIY route. (Think about how buying a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken in the deli is more expensive than buying a raw chicken and some spices and doing it yourself.)
But sometimes not having to clean the oven, or listen to the starving 3-yr old, is a very attractive option. ;-)
