I've been knee-deep in turnkey world for 9+ years now and I've never heard of them.

Your tenant doesn't want to pay by the first, so that's a red flag.

Don't answer/engage if they are repeately bothering you, which is another red flag and negative on our scoring system. 

They then found out the basement was rental that all they had to do was paint it red and they had another rental. 

It’s time for me to dig deep and get really creative if a no down payment deal even exists or is possible otherwise go that route. 

Second, the neighbors accusations mean little to me except as a red flag to look into something.

The juice wasn't worth the squeeze for me but I did not do a deep dive into it either.

For your situation I would investigate some of the virtual brokerages a live broker with the fit feel and learning you after would be best However the virtual options offer deep archives if your a self learner it will come down to ymhiw you work and learn beat and what the brokerage would accept all the bestTim

Lately, we’ve found a couple large national HML’s that have good terms, very deep pockets but won’t allow 2nd position loans.  

The benefit of the outskirts of town: easier to find new place to build, land is cheaper, still in the path of gentrification and appreciation due to proximity to SLC market, no HOA to deal with, much less permitting and red tape, and these lead to new builds, which has the benefits of maximizing costseg and minimizing maintenance and repairs because the build is brand new.Happy to discuss by videoconference if you want, and I can pay you for your time.
