Thanks to you all Washingtonians for connecting! It's nice to build that more local community! :o) And it's just nice to know people close by!

I'm from Tacoma, WA.... so not necessarily "po-dunk" but Josh Dorking always references WA that way... :o) Not as big-city as Seattle... but not small town either.

Thanks for the shout-outs, and hopefully we will all be able to benefit one another as we learn!

Thanks for the tips! I have already looked into some turnkey companies out there, and received some info from Memphis Invest... Still researching if we will head into turnkey or not, but thank you for connecting! 

@Brandon Turner- Thanks Brandon! Good to know someone else from "po-dunk" Washington... ha ha. :o) 

@Linval T.  Wow... that was quite the detailed post! Thanks Lival! I have definitely been through part of that material, but not all yet. :o) That is a great check list all in one place to plow through though. THANK YOU. I have listened to at least half of the podcasts (today's with Hal Elrod was fantastic) and webinars so far. But there is so much more reading I can do. It definitely can feel a bit daunting... the more I learn, the more I begin to understand how much I don't know... ha! A good thing but a big overwhelming. Thank you again- a new person like myself will take all they help they can get if they are smart. :o) Blessings!

@J Beard - Are you purchasing these local or out of state? I definitely see what you mean by seeing that as "turnkey." We have looked into some multi-fam units in our local area... I keep crunching numbers, but I always feel like the numbers seem awful after including utilities that aren't paid by the tenants, etc. I've looked up and researched how to calculate... but maybe I"m still missing something... 
Thanks for the perspective J...

Hey all... still pretty new to the BP community... I've mostly been reading, and just made my first post today. :o) 

My husband and I own our own business, have three young kids, and are really itching to acquire some real estate.... just makes to much sense not to.

I would love to connect with people, especially those in my area, anyone with personal experience in turnkey and with local buy and hold investing.

So thankful to have found the bigger pockets community....  I love to learn so I feel like I'm in heaven whenever I'm on here... it's a feast every time! Hopefully one day I will be able to contribute to that feast with some experience of my own. :o)

Looking forward to "meeting" you!

Brie- Thank you for the tip! I will definitely check out those threads- it's helpful to have the link, thanks! I have been reading up on quite a few of them as well... And I was hoping to connect with a few people who have recent/personal experience as well. Thank you so much. 

Hey everyone...  I'm fairly new to bigger pockets and currently exploring turnkey as an initial step to starting out in real estate.

I'd love to hear from people who have at least 5 turnkey properties-

What has your experience been like? 

Would you recommend it or not? 

And what is your number one piece of advice for a new investor like myself based on your experience?

If you have a company or individual you would recommend, if we're allowed to post that- I would LOVE to know that as well.

Thanks team!
