I've invested in 6 properties and counting with them.

I am interested in buying a long-term turnkey property in a nice area (I live in San Diego so this property would have to be out of state).

They are even working on getting me the evicted tenant's security deposit, the missing JANUARY rent since the place is still empty, and covering the cost of my own manager re-listing the property.

We don't want to bring on every owner or every property unless they fit within our target market, so, I do the far majority of the sales - this is our check and balance.

Quote from @Brendan Jones: For the homes, and or properties that you will use as a primary or a rental property one big thing I look for is infrastructure in the area, extrinsic value (I.e. hospitals in the area, schools, and job market), and the last thing is creature comforts for people (I.e. is a store to get groceries 1 hour away or 2 minutes away).

I find that depending on the market $300-500/mo are fairly normal and if compared to what you would pay with a single family home on some utilities, maintenance, and management, it's a good deal.

Quote from @Amit Chugh: While searching for apartments, i noticed a commercial apartment listed as Section 8 property, does it make any difference from buyer/seller perspective when it's listed as section 8 property.

Quote from @Andres Lasaga: I am in the process of selling a property to the tenant I have been renting the house for 4 years.I want to outsource the promissory note collections and reportsIt would be only ONE property, for now, any recommendation of a company that can manage the collections and reporting?

3) Buy a few out of state properties directly through an agent and work with a property manager to manage them? 

Hi Kevin,Great question... finding the right property management (PM) company can make or break your investment strategy, especially in Orange County (OC), where the market is both competitive and unique.
