Thanks Paul,I've found quite the opposite.We buy lists and cold call, buy cheap, renovate fair and sell for market value.I see investors buying crap on the MLS, spending too much on rehab and are into the property for 30% more than they would be if they just bought turnkey.But that's in my market at least.For example, we are selling B class for sub $100,000 and I'm seeing folks buying D class for $80,000 (That needs work).It's mind boggling to me and for the first time in 10+ years it got me thinking the market will go to $%@ if this keeps happening.You mentioned "No wonder we go for realtor-contractor-PM self-help way rather than blindly trusting a one-stop-shop to make the most for us".This in my opinion isn't true turnkey.It's a hybrid model that I see many doing and who is to blame if things go South?
