Turnkey market in and around Richmond Virginia?

[Rick Delgado]

Hi everyone,

I've been reading and learning about the different ways to invest in real estate for a few weeks now.  I finally got my hands on a little money for a 20% downpayment=closing cost and a little money to operate.  I'm a little skeptical as to how to proceed with my investment being someone that owned both a successful and a failing business.  The idea of a turnkey operation sounds like a good way to start (Is it really?).  On the other hand, overseeing a renovation is not what I've been looking for so far for lack of experience managing this type of project and also, I don't have a lot of money.  Is anyone familiar with this area that can give me some words of advice about what is a good way to get started here in the 2017 RVA market?
