Get a few of those and read them - that way you can start to get familiar with what kinds of things can happen in a house, and how big of a deal it is to fix each one of them.If there are any new houses being built in your area (like, within bike or bus/train range), and the neighborhood is relatively OK, go over to that neighborhood, after the workers have left for the day, and see what building a house looks like. 

There, you can typically expect cash flow ranging from 10-18%. 

The issues we ran into were being pre-approved for a mortgage much lower than what most houses in our area are selling for, and finding houses that were in our price range did not qualify for conventional mortgages.

If we are dreaming let us go ahead and stop outsourcing manufacturing, and stop bringing in unskilled labor by the millions to destroy middle class and working class communities.

Prices so far this year range from $420k-$1.05M all with ocean views or ocean access.

In terms of your financing question, the majority of loans we do are in that $1m to $5m range, so that's not an issue at all (fake numbers wasting everyone's time would of course be an issue, but let's stipulate that it's solved).

Thanks A lot has been written on BP about R2R and everything looks solid.I'm a big believer in sticking with 1 market until you build a large enough portfolio and diversification is justified.Like with many investments and not just turnkey, it's important to build a large portfolio.The time and associated risk isn't worth buying 1 or 2 properties if you expect a significant impact on your bottom line monthly cashflow.Most turnkey properties are sold at fair market value or slightly above.Nothing wrong with this as long as property management is solid and does their job with integrity.Buying turnkey you won't have built in equity so no growth can be manufactured and you will have to wait for the market to grow to see an equity gain.Thus, IMO it's important to have mindset where you endeavor to build a large enough portfolio so the monthly cashflow makes sense and the portfolio becomes safer.Much success

For my houses, I run about $75/month for capex in my model, which is usually around 6 to 7% of gross rent (usually in the $1200-1300 range in my area).

And it also has a manufactured home and a small studio apartment on the property.
