Getting burnt out // Thinking Turn Key with MidSouth....

I am in a strong financial offensive mode in building my cash position right now. I basically work two jobs and save 5k a month. It's really one demanding job and then full time school (the GI Bill pays me to get good grades...for now). I have very little time after those two things, U.S. Coast Guard Reserves, fatherhood and being a husband. 

I've been trying to work with my out-of-state cousin to find a deal. He owns 30 homes with a partner and 10 or more of his own and brokers, flips, and wholesales but the right opportunity hasn't popped up there either and, I have to face it, he is a busy guy himself. I know there are deals in any market and I have been a business owner and forged these relationships that lead to opportunities in another space, but I don't have that kind of time any more. Really, any little amount of time I have left should be spent with my family or doing something for my health. 

All that said, I am considering just going turnkey with MidSouth Home Buyers to get my feet wet in this game. I met someone today who has 2 homes with them and is very satisfied. 

I appreciate your thoughts.
