Turnkey Vs Buy and engage with property manager

[Jay Thacker]

Hello All,

After paying of all student dents, having bought a primary residence last year, i am finally thinking about passive rental income from real estate investing. I am a newbie and apologize in advance if this has already been discussed - please feel free to point me to the right thread.

What are the leading thoughts on buying turnkey properties versus buying separately and getting a property management company to help out renting and maintaining? I am guessing the later is more lucrative since you can get possible deals when you buy while the turnkey provider will likely not give you a deal/sell below market?
