The name that kept coming up is Memphis Invest, since many people seemingly view them as the gold standard in the turnkey space. 

Hi @Josh Gold I think this would be AWESOME and think there would be a pretty decent turnout.

What are the 10 fastest growing chain businesses in the area?

So, you have a few options:Take on substantially more challenging projects, both in size/scopeTake on projects that involve a different asset classDeal with challenges related to different geography (I'd think you'd want to move 'up' market)These are the things that you can do one or more of - you may want to think about your options and be realistic too about your capabilities.There's a lot of people doing a lot of different things on these forums, but the above gets you moving 'up' the value chain with regards to developing capabilities, and working towards furthering your 'build' skill-set.All this said, I have a friend that operates in a smaller market in Iowa that's probably a bit closer to what you are doing. 

all three are distinctly different in form and function.roofstock is more of a MLS type system highly automated representing civilian sellers by and large and some turn key companies will list their stock on Roofstock.. its pretty snazzy however after care is between you and the PM.Homeunion has some hybrid of turnkey marketing company in the same vane as Jason Hartman Maverick Norada etc.MI is what many consider the gold standard in turn key investing.. very deep experience in the space.. and control all aspects..

The paperwork is redic, but the golden rule states that "she who has the gold makes the rules," and her name is Fannie Mae, and she's got that gov't subsidized 30YF interest rate that you find appealing.

I like gold miner stocks, my IRA is now loaded up with almost nothing else.   

I’ve read so much about running a charity vs a business, raising rents slowly, good tenants are like gold, cost of vacancy, etc.

I've seen businesses that couldn't get money out of a soldier but one well-placed call to someone in their chain of command and the soldier is handing over cash that same day.Appreciation in military towns may be slower than average but you're probably focused on cash-flow more than resale value so I wouldn't worry about that.

And to Jim’s point (not the ball and chain part) keep focused, buy and hold, it a long-term play.
