Is a turnkey investment good for a beginner real estate investor?

[David Kuhlke]

Hello everyone! 

I'm new to BiggerPockets and just finished reading Brandon Turner's "The Book on Rental Property Investing". I live in Portland, OR, where the housing market is very high for rental property investing. Turnkey investing seems very enticing, and I am seeking some advice from experienced investors. Is turnkey investing a good way to go for a beginner investor like myself? If so, what are the most reliable turnkey companies with in-house property management? 

Thanks!

David
