Turn key-Vs-Added Value

[Wave Taylor]

Which is the better purchase, in terms of the most bank(g) for your buck, Turn Key or Added Value?

[Andrew Campbell]

Great answers to this post.  The only thing I'll add--what are your investing goals?

Value add projects allow you to force appreciation.  IMHO appreciation is how you create wealth with real estate investing.  And going value add lets to you create and generate that appreciation in a short amount of time. 

Turnkey will produce very passive cash flow income, but the appreciation will be limited to whatever the market is doing. 

Are you investing to generate some passive cash flow or to generate wealth and appreciation?
