Turnkey investing is very dependent on the market the companies are located, level of involvement desired, policies of the companies, pricing, warranties, and whether they have in-house property management.For example, the seasoned turnkey companies realize that their demand is driven by investors looking for a safe, consistent return.

@Dana StrohmaierIn my experience, you only get one shot with most prospective tenants so before you do any showings you want to make sure it's 95%+ done.

I looked at this industry as if I couldn’t have made it since everything was somewhat going under, little did I know “that was the perfect time to get in and grow”.I took a shot at it again back in 2016.

I was roughing it (see my bedroom below) but I was pretty excited to be in the house and even more motivated to complete it.Screen Shot 2017-12-15 at 6.49.24 AMScreen Shot 2017-12-15 at 6.48.46 AMScreen Shot 2017-12-15 at 6.49.11 AMAbout a week after moving-in to my house project, the home was burglarized and I lost all tools, clothes, personal possessions, electronics, passport, SS cards, etc…everything.

I agree with the comments above that the passive route offers more security, less risk, and consistent monthly income.

I have been going consistently for the past 3 weeks to get to know the neighborhoods , but I 've seen so many vacant houses that it caught my attention , especially on the north and west areas ( low income would be  the spectrum of  my investments )

After all wouldn't you rather collect rent checks consistently instead of having turnover? 

Maximum consistency?

Is that consistent with other local, similar properties?

We have a go-to electrician and have been through several heating and cooling companies- it is hard to find anyone who can work on boilers consistently, and half our properties have boilers.Our rentals are a 15 minute drive away, and it's an odd week if I am not driving by at least once.
