they would end up doing laundry at a laundry mat. or need roommates. or live too far from work/school etc. 

You really have 2 things to consider the Fantasy of it--letting you close easier, (the potential renter believes they will use this item)and the reality of it no one using the pool except one apartment, yet pool overhead is expensive, deprecation on equipment, taxes, chemicals, upgrades to equipment, resurfacing, emptying trash, stolen deck chairs, etc...Same with a workout center, treadmills and big balls, and mats or treadmills plus workout machines, and when the TV's get stolen, etc..or nothing...What do potential renters for your specific place....think they want, and really do want....and then there is the cost....If you have dogs a dog walk is a good thing as the dog waste should be less all over the lawn.Just my 2 cents..

Thanks @Mat O'Grady.

But alas, she's strapped for time with our family but wants to get in the game, thus turnkey seems more viable.  

Even though interest rates are high, strapping your cash in one deal will inhibit you from buying others.

Your letting them use you as a door mat.

If you show people your initiative,ability to learn and willingness to work they mat invest inyou or with you .

Everyone else on your team will be transaction-based and not really involved after a purchase.We're in the Metro Detroit area, so you may want to follow our blog here on BP, but at least read the following posts:How to “Screen a PMC Better than a Tenant”: https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/3094/91877-how-to-screen-a-pmc-better-than-a-tenant-part-1-services-and-processesIn our experience you will need to:1) Learn to "Maintain to the Neighborhood", not your personal standards2) Tenant-Proof everything you can Hard surface flooring, not carpeting (too easy to trash) Same basic paint for everything No garbage disposals for them to break Only spring-type doorstops also with plate on the wall Glue rubber mats under sinks to prevent water damage Sheet aluminum on walls around stovetops, for easy grease removal Towel racks - screw 1x3 to wall studs, then screw rack to that Install low-profile downspout ext, not aluminum that always disappear Plan on cleaning gutters and leaves up in the fall as tenants won't Avoid garage door openers3) Have a great application screening process: Check credit for evictions & convictions, utility collections Focus on employment/income stability Require bank or debit card statement - you'll be surprised what they spend their money on!

The hard part is raising investment capitol here, the banks are either currently involved in some sort of unfavourable behaviour or have been caught in doing so and are so strapped with sanctions or cumbersome rules that they cannot easily move forward as one would be accustomed to within the US development banking structure.   

I own a laundromat here in Oregon and love it and would probably be looking at mats in NC, but just need to get to know the area better.
