Thoughts on Turnkey REIs?
Hello Everyone. Literally just signed up to BP a few moments ago. I am a newbie investor from San Diego thinking about buying my first rental property out of state in Atlanta, Alabama, Austin, Pennsylvania, and/or Detroit using a turnkey company. Are there any resources or recommendations that you can guide me towards? Thanks in advance and looking forward to increase my intelligence and wealth with the help of all of your knowledge and experience as I start this journey. :)

@Eric Inigo as @Gary Carver stated. Turn Key may not be the best way to go. I am in the Pittsburgh market and I dont know of any legitimate turnkey providers who you can trust and provide a good product. Think about it. If you provide turn key then why not just hold onto them yourself. Most turn key providers want to make a quick profit and then manage and handle all repairs for you for residual profit in the future. I am not saying they are all scam artists but please run your numbers and look closely at the market before committing to anyone or any area.
