I guess in that sense it's not purely an investment, but a job as well, and I'm okay with that.

I am an investor from NY.I am interested in purchasing turnkey  properties in Kansas City, Indianapolis and other areas that make sense numbers wise (any thoughts on markets would be appreciated)This is purely a buy and hold, cashflow strategy.Any reputable turnkey companies out there that can help me out??

Up until now, OC was not great for investments - you could use STR to defray your costs for a condo you used, but it wasn't great for pure investments. 

I don't plan on investing in the area either, so I went purely just for the experience.

You're looking at pure cash flow with no hope of appreciation on the MH, might as well rent cars, IMO.Actually, IMO, with the new rules we must live with, I don't see MHs being that great unless you are really busy, guess it depends on where you are, but in my area, not too much profit in them to justify the pain of compliance.

The agent doesn't have to be at your brokerage.You won't be paid anything for hosting an open house, it's purely for your own personal exposure and to try and gather unrepresented buyers. 

Most of our homes were paid off, so we made pure profit on those that didn't entail an expense for that month.

So far, the experiences shared on this thread by more experienced investors have made me think twice about investing in low-end properties purely for high ROI and cashflow - it may have saved me a decade in going the wrong direction.  

That optimism has turned into pure frustration.ABC is beyond slow, even with the squatter delay, they've still had 7 months to complete a project that Jay initially said would only take 2 months.

Now Im sure there are true creative finance options, such as the ones @Bill Gulley mentioned that i have never heard of lol,  but his advice is pure gold and Im so glad I stumbled across this forum.
