I haven't been able to work on implementation as much as I would like, but should be getting a steady flow of potential clients.I have other programs from Lee Arnold that cover various different aspects of real estate.

Everyone thinks they can become a millionaire fast, and skip all the discipline aspects of it.   

What aspects of leasing are you referring to exactly?

I wasn’t really considering the appreciation/depreciation aspect at all.  

. —- Again I’m not saying you have to do these things; it all depends what type of investor you are and what you are looking for however it is important to understand that if you shift the responsibility of either identifying the invest property or managing or any other aspect there WILL be a trade off — in this case the turnkey company has delivered on your goal of 8-9% ROI (projected... so TBC) and in return you have traded some of the other benefits of investing in RE for the convenience of not having to do much more than to look over the properties they have sent you and funding it from the comfort of your home, office, etc. ... again if this is the goal then you are on point but if the goal is to also partake in ALL of the other benefits of RE then you should understand that and not be surprised that it’s not a ‘stellar’ investment that checks all the boxes.

One of the constants that I still see from when I first started on BP in early 2016 is the willingness of experienced ( some on this very thread ) folks in different aspects of real estate to try and help newbies and others with advice and perspective.I think it really is a testament to the fact that even though the investing environment has undergone many changes over those years the willingness to continue to help others has not changed.It helped me tremendously when I had to crash course on small MF ownership and I am grateful to all who helped with posts that they didn't even know that I had read and learned from.And yes the search function remains fairly useless and unchanged in that regard since then to the detriment of us all.

@Albert Hepp the flawed logic your using to state there must be some conspiratorial aspect to commissions because commissions are all but uniformed over 2%.....We can apply that exact flawed logic to Apples at grocery stores and say since apples, at every grocery store are uniformed at a price over $0.10 a piece, it "must be a conspiracy"........Take off the tinfoil hat. 

I agree with what @Jaycee Greene said, having local connections accelerates all aspects of out of state investing.

That's actually a great aspect of real estate, if things don't go as planned, wait it out!

Point is, (a) it's all but impossible for the investment to go to $0 and (b) you have direct, impactful CONTROL of outcome. 2nd: Back to the CONTROL aspect.
