I normally recommend a turnkey single family home (3b/1-2ba)/ light cosmetic work single family as a 1st investment.

I think it’s normal and expected that hosts provide an initial supply of these items.

We should see a continued rise in inventories going into next year, which is normal for this time of year.

Is it normal that a Turnkey provider doesn't allow you to send your contractor to check the house before closing ?

I would love to hear from investors who have done this before if this small of a profit % is normal?

your QI should be telling you to hustle right now.The 9% rate isn't the only piece of the pie. 

Hey Kris, fees will vary in different markets but not by a lot. 10% is pretty normal around here (coastal carolina) & at least for our company, it matters not if they are in-state or out-of-state. 

I find that depending on the market $300-500/mo are fairly normal and if compared to what you would pay with a single family home on some utilities, maintenance, and management, it's a good deal.

I normally get a monthly statement and a copy of all bills.

Desperate - experienced, nothing to lose type of situation, and the opportunity is so amazing that it is life changing  (Ah what the heck, he was already on the edge, it may work, it may not, but he was in a desperate situation)I wouldn't recommend it for normal people.
