If you buy a property in the midwest or south, you will have to completely rely on local contractors and management.  

Residential loans do care about personal income but commercial loans will rely VERY heavily on the property itself. 

And we also charge for actual cleaning and damages, which usually translates into recovering about 50% of our turn cost.

Yes, I understand the need for attorneys in this situation but since attorneys do charge by the hour, I would rather rely on any advice I can glean for free for the first part.

All things aside  I want to make the best financial decision and not rely on my emotions. 

Do not rely on it as legal advice.

You might need to brace yourself for some (more) hard-hitting responses suggesting reality checks.My own advice is: please do NOT rely on turnkey providers to get you closer to your future goals, for the simple reason that ALL the cream will already have been taken out of any profit, by you buying properties off THEM!

It doesn't mean they are dumb, but skills from one area don't automatically translate to another. 2.
