G'Day Bob,Not many "true" turnkey companies around anymore and I've seen a trend where investors want to DIY out of state and country.Personally, I think this is an even bigger recipe for disaster than buying turnkey.bBut that's just my opinion.Back in the day you had many "turnkey" companies selling crappy properties in crappy areas for a lot more than market value.Then they pass you on to a 3rd party PM that nickel and dimes you to death.Granted, if you want to DIY I would always advise moving to the market that you want to invest in.Spending enough time with key people needed to make your venture a success.Yep, easier said than done 🤷‍♂️If you DIY from out of state, you will probably find an "investor friendly" agent that will flog you expensive property from the MLS, refer a "good" contractor and then you will most likely also get nickel and dimed by a referred "trustworthy" PM.IMO, you are safer finding a reputable turnkey provider in a market that you want to invest in and go from there.If $#%@ hit's the fan (Which it always does in real estate), at least you have everyone to blame under the same roof.A true turnkey provider will have everything an out of state investor would/want and need under the same roof.No finger pointing is allowed lolI'm bias as we offer turnkey so take my words with a grain of salt.Just happy to offer my 0.2 Aussie cents.Wishing you much success

As a better alternative, I'm in the process of identifying a reputable lender to refinance each condo individually.  

I am a pharmacist with great credit looking to partner with a reputable investor-friendly credit union.

Overall, RTR has a tremendous reputation in the industry and certainly among the BP community. 

Currently about to remodel one side of our duplex from a 2 bed/2 bath to a 3 bed/2 bath with upgraded mini split ductless HVAC system.We've been doing real estate investing for over 10 years and I'm close to finishing developing a land lording class for local landlords to learn from my mistakes of 10 years and similar to the BP mentality ensure landlords are raising the bar to push the less than reputable landlords out as we feel our tenants deserve better! 

Knowing what I don't know I hired a reputable civil engineering firm to handle my site plan.

Your best bet is if you continue with the new build partner up with a reputable builder and learn.

@Austin Bright Goosehead has a reputation.

Poor work and poor service get called out publicly, for example right here on Bigger Pockets, and reputation drives business.So, contrary to your statement, myself and my colleagues have tremendous incentives to provide excellent service and protect our reputation.

The new web features on Realtor.com and on Zillow that let you overlay flood, crime, and other stats over the Google street map may be helpful to you as well.
