@Brie Schmidt & @Jay Hinrichs started a website turnkey-reviews.com that provides reviews for companies.I've suggested to them to help provide some market analysis tools for exactly this reason.There are a bunch of posts on BP about how to analyse markets including this oneThen you can go on forever with government statistics...Trulia has a great interactive demographic map at http://www.trulia.com/localOf course none of this has been compiled in any sort of side-by-side way to compare turnkey markets.I think it would be a useful exercise.

I have had every seller accept such a clause and only exercised it once when the seller tried to get squirrelly before closing .

Once a lender has foreclosed - or exercised the power of sale provision in the mortgage - the property is typically sold via a real estate agent and listed on MLS.  

I haven't had any problems with due on sale clauses being exercised.

I personally have not exercised the first-time homebuyer option to pay up to $10,000 of first-time homebuyer expenses without incurring the 10% early withdrawal penalty that usually applies to withdrawals from a Roth IRA before age 59 1/2.

You can later exercise your option to buy and refinance without being required to put up any money and your closing costs can even be included as part of the loan.

I am currently going through similar exercise myself for smaller apartment buildings.

I like to load up a few onto your phone and listen while driving or exercising.

“Although I fully plan to follow through; if I were to go into default, you could begin by exercising your Assignment Of Rents and collect any rent payments in connection to the property.

This way you can talk with your father about your investment plan while he can see first hand to bless of on it, all while getting exercise.
