Interesting thread and has affected my decision to. It go with this provider until and unless resounding evidence of quality and customer service. That said I salute BP for communicating the highs and lows. I especially commend @Aaron B. for going above and beyond to drive by and take photos. This is true essence of community and I'm sure @Tyler Jahnke and the rest of the community are appreciative

Hi Donnie:

I'm only answering ur request for an inspector - I have no exp regarding Morris.  I used Iron Gate inspections. They do a very thorough job! I highly recommend Iron Gate  (Chris Strnard) - BP won't allow contact numbers but u can easily find online 

Tell em Miguel recommended u

Thx @Marvin Gunn  I was able to get more clarification. Communication is key and now we are on same page. Lot of the communication was via email which allows for miscommunication.

I was under contract and ready to go turnkey but I'm getting cold feet w provider and evaluating whether it's my expectations that need tweaking etc. - perhaps @Marco Santarelli as a provider you can input- I'd appreciate it.

   my understanding from BP is that a TK property is rent ready with all major systems functional. My expectation is that roof has long life remaining (i.e. 10yrs min), hvac, plumbing and electric all new or about 50% life remaining so that there will not be capex for at least 5+ years. Are my assumptions accurate?

With this understanding, my inspection revealed several deficiencies including roof replacement. Some things were trivial but the functional components of the home I wanted fixed. The TK provider now wants to change the price bc they're over their budget for repairs. I feel our contract which was for a fully performing property should not require any short term repairs and, thus, replacing the roof and fixing plumbing/electric are his responsibility and risk. I'm paying 'his' price (no negotiation allowed) so it shouldn't change bc his estimates were wrong? I want to be fair and don't want to take advantage of him but I don't think it's fair that I incur the expense of newly uncovered repairs. It sucks but paying TK price means these risks are his, otherwise I wouldve done all myself and taken the risk with potential bigger returns? Am I being realistic?

my understanding from BP is that a TK property is rent ready with all major systems functional for several years. Thus roof w long life remaining (i.e. 10yrs min), hvac, plumbing and electric all new or much life remaining so that there will not be capex for at least 5+ years. Are my assumptions accurate?

@Chris Clothier

Thank you for a very thorough and honest reply. Overall, my takeaway in this thread is the expectations. Realistic expectations combined with desired returns will facilitate the proper TK investment. Prior to this thread I didn't know enough to align my expectations properly. Thx to everyone

@Alex Craig

Thank you for your responses. Many like You and @Jay Hinrichs have shared a wealth of information. I will continue to do my DD but I understand better the expectations and price points. I've enjoyed it all- big thanks. Hopefully I will be able to return the favor to you and others in the future.

Best Rgds

Thank you @Jay Hinrichs. I didn't ask my question very clearly but you got it nevertheless. TK is still a good option but not as good as it was touted by many TK providers. To quote your website , "performing your due diligence and managing your expectations." Is key to TK investment. You definitely helped me with the latter now I'm on to the DD. I will review your site to conduct some of my DD  thx for the service. I've liked your responses here and other posts of yours I've seen. You appear to be honest and knowledgeable. That said, do you offer any full TK offerings yourself or you're serving as an info hub similar to BP? Again thx for your guidance
