With the level of competition right now I don't see any turn key style properties that fit my investment criteria on the mls anymore.Look for properties that have sat 3-6 months and figure out why.

This is a common problem, but there are several actions we can take to curtail it:Follow the l/t regs in your state to properly notify the tenant about any damages that will be deducted from the security. 

I have suggested twice that if this tenant is so unhappy with my style of management that perhaps moving out would be the best solution only to be told that I’ll have long since sold the building before they leave.

Can I:- Purchase clothes (pants, shirts, socks, coats, jackets) that I would wear for doing renovations/rehabs and write them off? 

In a resort style place like you are looking at, often more than one unit is owned by a single owner.

If you can't do any of that US T-Bills are yielding 5.7%.

===========================================================Meh, just how is advertising that you teach creative financing one-on-one (see your web site name) NOT in the "nature" of styling yourself as a "guru"?

Sadly, it sometimes gets a bad rap because of people who lose their shirt because they were gullible and then they blame the overseas professionals and suggest they're all scammers instead of blaming themselves from being naive.

It will behave as a traditional WP style of page on the web.

I've purchased turnkey properties, as well as BRRRR style transactions in multiple Midwest markets.
