Turnkey solutions - yay or nay

[Richard Covarrubias]

I'm just starting out in the real estate world and am targeting buying a low cost rental property in the midwest. I own a small, remote business and live in Maui, so I will not be able to manage the property (and hopefully more in the future) myself, so I have been considering a turnkey property that can be rented and managed for me. 

Would anyone recommend getting into real estate investing in this fashion? Would love to hear from people that chose this path as their entry in REI and the associated pros and cons.

Thanks!

Rick
