That whole business model is based on the fact that, unlike Andrew or Doug, many other people are a sadly a bit lazy and they like to be sold a nice fairy tale. 

I often wonder if it would have been better to have started with a single family as our first, to learn the ropes, and then graduated to the 4-plex model. 

The turn-key model works well for me as I am a full time CPA working at a large tech company in the SF Bay Area.

That was not the model I was looking to create with REI.

Yes the leaseback will cover the loan and fees for the duration…if we don’t break even, we may have a tiny cash flow.the builder is using it as a model until they sell the remaining units they will build over the next couple years.

I spoke with Rent to Retirment 3 years ago about their business model.

Also pretty sure that the condo association would no permit it (and it's working great).Honeywell does have some updated models that will work, but I don't see any that are smart/Wi-Fi.

The expectation/ business model behind purchasing properties from Ohio Cashflow is buy and hold for the long term. 

Also have an understanding of housing demand versus supply for houses and apartment rents (I wish I considered those factors when buying my first home).Also, make sure you understand debt financing and you spending time modeling out your costs. 

I had recently sold a model match in the same community that I had also remodeled so I had a sold comp at $237k.
