(A bit of self-interest here....I am in the Eugene (Springfield) market and always looking for references for reliable, quality maintenance people!)

I would not do a fix and flip in Florida as a new investor with the costs (and reliability) of contractors and the insurance costs right now.

This type of financing is popular with investors because it doesn't require any income verification.

While we do not see income from these properties and are not managing them we do have a significant amount of depreciation and losses that have been assigned to us and carried over from the past couple years.I am invested in some growth/equity focused projects already and am specifically looking in reliable income focused strategies that are tax efficient provided the losses I have from my family.

The off-market game, although still very competitive, has brought my investors more consistent and reliable results. 

Hi RyanFind a reliable property manager for accurate rent rates to determine how the numbers will work.

I knew that I was paying premium because that's the point of turnkey companies, however at least my houses had reliable foundations and structures.

Would it all just be mostly the same: general background check (including prior evictions, lawsuits, etc), credit check, income verification, landlord references?

The other option would be to purchase the property strictly as a rental unit; nowadays, lenders are willing to go with 15% down; no income verification, and perhaps the rate be favorable in the high 7% to low 8% interest rate.
