@Meghan Carson i'm considering long term rentals and am not opposed to turnkey.

When I emailed they just said to apply first, in end of February or in march I plan to go try and talk to someone to see if I can get better advice.

Hi, I’m a full-time Real Estate Investor and mainly invest in Frederick and Washington counties.

Inquiring minds want to know. :)

@Joe PaaschWelcome to Bigger Pockets.

An approach that we use is to provide value to the homeowner - especially to distressed homeowners.   

However, you must have reasonable limits and hold to them.I give a great example in my book where a tenant abandoned a 2,000-square-foot home full of nice furniture, expensive jewelry, a brand-new $2,000 rifle still in the box, etc.

I never have to drive there, I never talk to the tenants, it's simple.

I didn't want to have to remember to do that myself every time.

We are willing to spend up to 500,000.
