I'd love to hear your opinions on good ways to find tenants that are reliable in the 30 plus day rental time period. 

I highly recommend managing them yourself, at least the bill paying, tenant screening, rent collecting aspects, and finding reliable plumbers and heating/cooling people- these are the services you'll use the most. 

Choosing the most expensive insulation because it's the most energy efficient, should allow you to reduce and/or eliminate costs in other areas.4 - Energy efficiency isn't made up of added costs.5 - Energy efficiency is the product of reducing energy needs, not supplying added energy.6 - Cost effectiveness is a product of maximum use of materials, as in little or no waste.All of the above should be obvious, in parts. 

I'm seeking recommendations for reliable Turnkey Property Companies that are in that market.

The renovation process may involve updating the interior and exterior of the home, replacing outdated fixtures and appliances, improving insulation and energy efficiency, as well as meeting safety and code requirements.

Applying those principle, focus your energy on doing the preventative things on a day to day basis that reduces the risk of claims from occurring in the first place  (siginign vendor agreeements /collecting insurance certificates) and carry appropriate levels of insurance.

Reliable???

Your best option is to find a reliable and honest agent that will direct you to the area that is up and coming.

Any strategies or insights you're willing to share on finding reliable 100% funding sources?

If you want to self-manage, then you should have the time, energy, and competence to make your own investments.
