Hi Andrae, the simplest and most risk-averse way to get started investing outside of your local area would be to contact TurnKey providers in the markets you are most interested.

It might be worth testing a few until you find the one that best fits your style and business model.

Now the post test reveals I have pvc sewer line leaks under the concrete foundation. plumber has found multiple breaks in the line which need to be repaired and has provided an estimate for tunneling under the house and replacing entire 45ft main line!

Biggest things you’ll want your cpa to guide you through;Material participation- there’s three tests; 500 hours; 100 hours and more than anyone else’s time, and substantially all the activity.

But the real test of this company's character came with the most recent loan I tried to close with them.First, I thought the loan rate was locked, and it was not.

Utilities/Phone/internet- test these areas out before buying.11. 

So actual benefit is hard to nail down until it's actually tested/required to provide protection in the event of a lawsuit. 

•Consider testing the rental market by listing it 60 days before you plan to move.I’d suggest pulling rental comps on Rentometer, Zillow, and MLS (if available) to get a clearer picture of demand.

I use a custom setup in Notion to manage my lending workflow and am building a mirror setup for notes, and am also in the process of testing Pipedrive as a CRM.

Hi Jaden,I'm not a fan of hybrid turnkey models like the companies you mention.Also, not a fan of many turnkey marketing companies.Granted, I'm bias but if anyone is interested in turnkey just go straight to the provider.Not many around these days anymore and the one's that are, have stood the test of time and are obviously solid.I think it's less riskier nowadays to invest in turnkey properties than before because all of the poor providers have disappeared and only the good one's are still around.Plus, seems like the "hands off" and so beloved syndications are going belly up so turnkey might be in fashion again.And no big deal IMO that turnkey is not completely "hands off".Is anything completely passive other than 30yr Treasury Bonds?
