I've got properties in (2) towns currently that are around 10k people in each town.

Purchase price: $130,000 Cash invested: $9,000 Sale price: $185,000 I did not have the knowledge then to keep the property and pull money out to complete renovations to another property we purchased a year after this one that required a complete overhaul.

I have little confidence in turnkey providers, deals are already hard to come by, if they take another 20% cut before.. much better to buy a property from an owner that is in good condition.

If you do the deal, ensure you have your property taxes set aside, because with seller financing there is not an impound process to handle the taxes and insurance. 

I am assuming by your post that you are financially invested and own the property. 

Next, we manually evaluate each property.

The property isn’t worth what he paid for it.
