Long term turnkey investing strategies?

[Jonathan Tea]

I'm in the process of closing my first rental property. I purchased it through a Turnkey company and they're going to manage it. It has been a pretty pleasant experience so far. Long term, I was thinking of building up a portfolio of rentals through turnkey companies with property managers.

I was wondering, how many of you are just investing in turnkey homes and having them managed by a property manager? How many do you have? Would you have done things differently?

How many of you are invested in different areas with different companies? Would it be a good idea to get a couple in one city first, then find another area to invest in?
