I am looking to get into multi-family rental properties. My preference is to obtain some turnkey properties. Where do I find good proven providers of turnkey properties? Anyone have recommendations of companies from whom you have bought good deals?

Of all the turnkeys I work with, the only MFR turnkeys I know of are in Philly and Chicago. Both great markets and good turnkey providers...pretty different price ranges (Chicago being more expensive but bigger properties too). Both providers fully gut the MFRs and redevelop, versus cosmetic rehabs. The Philly ones too have the option of you funding the purchase and rehab and then banking the forced appreciation, while the turnkey guys do all the work. But they offer fully-performing turnkeys as well.

Michael, I have not been successful finding SFRs in my area that cash flow well for rentals. One of the big hurdles here is insurance costs on non-owner occupied SFRs. SFRs are good flips here, and I do those whenever I can.
Also, a few good multi-family units will provide good cash flow.

@Account Closed Best small multis (2-4 units) for turnkey buyers are hands down in Chicago IMHO. Two providers there are doing full gut rehabbed with beautiful "condo" like finishes and great bones (mostly brick or flagstone). These are mostly rented out to Section 8 tenants.

@Derrick Craig Financing options are still open at this point. In state, I'll go through local banks. For the out of state properties, I'll probably need to go with crowd-sourcing or a company like Lima One Capital.
