@John Hamrin Just my two cents on this John - there are all kinds of different investors and a lot of it depends on how much of their time/energy is going to be focused on just this.

Daniel made a very good point - investing in one market keeps your time/energy costs low since you'll have done most of the legwork on the first prop.

I guess I was thinking that if I did M2M the turnover time/energy/money (locks, cleaning etc.) was just not worth it. 

All my limited beliefs, energy blocks and so forth.

It's been one of my best investments thus far as I've had to put very little time, energy and money into it.

Lists are a great tool, but they aren't a silver bullet.

Do we just bite the bullet and not cashflow in year 1?

Maine has the efficiency Maine program, of course, which can reimburse for some energy upgrades.

So some basic bullet points about me ... 34 years old , sole provider for my family which consist of my wife and out son ( 17 months old ). .

However, after doing research that led me to this forum, I realize that company is probably not the best idea (I'm feeling like we narrowly dodged a bullet) I'm looking for legitimate and trustworthy turnkey companies that are in Michigan that any one can recommend that I can share with husband.
