Some way some how my clueless know nothing self in 90 days had found a guy who knew a guy who heard of a guy who I meet and finally that guy said "yeah, i will back you, I know a $ guy, let's do this", and there I stood, in front of the property I just bought, with $0 from my pocket, that I was going to reno for $35k, none of which came form my pocket, and the fear hit me "OMG WTF did I just get myself into?!!!!".

The one thing that stood out to me the most was how all communication done by @Engelo Rumora was detailed, but straight to the point and how he always listened and tried to understand any concerns/issues that were brought up and was quick in doing his best to make things right.

The companies you mention have been around for a while and have stood the test of time.They have stood the test of time in a niche called "turnkey real estate" that has always carried a stigma.So I think that speaks volumes of their quality 👍Nobody is perfect and those that work hard, will eventually make a mistake.As long as the mistake is an "honest mistake".And being a turnkey provider myself for 10+ years now I can sure say that some investors can be a true pain in the A$$ and it feels like they look for drama/issues intentionally instead of smooth sailing lolWith that said, I suggest doing your online research and reaching out to the one that tickles your fancy the most.And then go from there.Wishing you much success.
