I have never used "turnkey" and have even self-managed out of state rentals (it wasn't the nightmare people often tout). 

It was touted as the "starting point" for any investing strategy.

They do it because they make a royalty off of GROSS SALES.So they could give a rat's aS# if the business owner makes money as long as corporate gets a fat check based on volume of sales and maintains market share.It's all about the NET after expenses.You will see franchise models all the time tout gross sales or someone selling a business.Gross sales doesn't mean jack.If someone could do home vestors for 10,000 that's not nearly as bad as 80,000.If you spent 5,000 on marketing yourself you would get just as good or much better results than dropping 10,000.If you want it in a nice little box you will pay for it.

It sounds like a C-Corp has benefits to me besides the one the accnt touted, being opaque to the colleges.  

This provision has several conditoins, so be sure to clearly understand how it may affect you if you company expects income from these sources.Limited Liability CompanyLLC's are still a relatively new and highly touted business entity.

And then they mail market and upsell the S--T out of you, they do not stop unless you call and talk straight to them to get you off their list.

Or maybe even that price squared since he is probably touting exponential returns on the investment for his slimy systems.

And I find it ironic that two of the strategies that require the most knowledge and investment to do it right, wholesaling and flipping, are the ones touted by gurus as the best to get into with no money and no skills.

I love the fact that I've been building and touting St George, Utah and SO tx for sometime.

It's getting a lot harder to find a deal these days, than a dummy.)Sure they tout the token "investors" that fall into a deal or two.
