I used a turnkey company in Little Rock a couple of years ago.  DM me and we can discuss.

I’m in Guilford, hi!

I agree with the others on the photos of the property. Consider having a professional take new photos.

That price point is a little high I think.

Are you getting a lot of traffic through and just no offers?

@Will Zena

Thanks for sharing. I had a similarly horrible experience with a “turnkey” company. You’re not alone.

When I was a tenant and my landlord wanted to do this it was always a hassle. The realtor said they’d give me plenty of notice, but often did not. They treated me like I was problem (I wanted to leave for the showings).

As a landlord I now wait until the home is vacant and cleaned before I show it.

If they want to be present just be respectful of their space and time, it is a disruption to their lives. Or wait until they move out.

I have used Palmetto Painting.  They did a nice job and were reasonably priced. 

I wish more people would talk about it. Every time someone has opened up about it, I have learned something that has helped me.

I try to talk to my younger coworkers about saving and investing and they are mostly resistant. They save the minimum to get the employer match and spend everything else.

I was that way at 22 until a coworker showed me his account that had 5 times as much in it as mine. He was saving more than the minimum- it had never occurred to me to do that. I was saving 3% and had a ROTH too, so I thought I was doing great. I immediately changed mine and tried to catch up to him :). Twenty years of growth later and I’m really glad I did.

Same thing with real estate. I don’t know anyone who owns property. Someone at a party said they were a real estate investor and I asked, What does that mean? 🤪🤣

I think you can talk about investing and planning without it being tacky. Most people just don’t know what is possible. They think it’s for someone else.

Are they named Turnkey Properties now?  If so, yes.  DM me.

I have a property in that zip code.  DM me and I’ll see how close yours is to mine. 

I agree that $200 sounds like too much.

My question is how do you arrive at an appropriate amount? What percentage of the rent is for a refrigerator?

What if it was a bedroom that was unusable for 2 weeks, how would you arrive at an amount for that?
