Purchasing a Turnkey when you invest OOS is a great way to earn passive income. Of course, make sure you go with a TRUE TK provider. Ideally, they should own the property first (not have it as a listing on the MLS) they should renovate it all in-house, please a tenant, and then continue to stay on as the property manager (also in-house) after the purchase. The key is to make sure it is all done by the same company. The only third-party involved should be your home inspection.
