I think folks that get disappointed with turn key are under the illusion that its like buying a mutual fund or something like that.when in fact what is done for you is simply this.1. a rehabber ( turn key outfit ) has sourced and rehabbed ( we hope) a rental property and sold it to you 2. they may have put a tenant in it 3. and they may own the management company ( wise move for most turn key as they keep better contact with their clients and over time this becomes  nice profit center) Once you own it you have to be engaged and stay engaged as the owner if you don't your going to usually have disappointment.. and if you as the buyer think just because you bought turn key that you need to hardly do anything for the rest of the life of the investment well then your setting your expectations up for some disappointment.

We currently manage about 100 centers.

I am an investor and a broker so see both sides of it.Example:Someone wants to buy a small retail strip center with mom and pop tenants for 1,500,000.

I knew my target market was the University of Maryland Medical Center as I observed people in scrubs wandering their way to the block adjacent to the block where I bought.

The mom and pop tenant could be inline  for a shopping center versus stand alone single tenant building.

It is not a profit center, it is a convenience that helps our building be more competitive.  

Even if we started building now for what we don't know, we would not have enough roadway capacity to allow everyone to live in a SFR up to 2 hours (120 miles) from a city center.  

It is a booming economy with East Carolina University, Vidant Medical Center, and a strong industrial base as the main drivers.

Just hire a call center or answering service that routes everything to assigned vendors such as plumbers, hvac tech, etc.

Is towing for expired plates a profit center for you?
