Turnkey rentals can be good for just collecting the check, and if you are busy with a job or business it will alleviate a lot of the work required. 

I'm with Andrew on this one... smaller towns while offering great cash flow potential can get crushed by movement of big employers so be sure to heavily research the economy of the town as a whole when looking in more rural areas... usually something like a regional commercial airport or a big hospital can elevate worries on topics like this as larger infrastructural investments from both companies and the government can alleviate some of the risk in theory.

Because of the way I am at work (I pushed myself perhaps too hard), I'm going to talk to my doctor Monday and see if I can get some extra time off from work to let my leg (and the muscles) heal more from surgery.

Not sure what can be done to alleviate this risk.Anyone in this market already or looking to start?

If the rate that the tenants are currently paying is far below the market rent, then the added rent you would be collecting from the tenants that decide to stay could alleviate some of the pain you will feel from having 1 or 2 of the other units sitting vacant for a little bit.Another simple solution is to not renew leases when they come due.

Higher production means lowered supply costs, and alleviating strain.

Which will help alleviate the costs of the (on average) lesser taken care of property.

We absorb a great deal of stress and if I can help share financial tactics and strategies that work and that alleviate some of that domestic stress… man, that’d be rewarding.

But communicating with the seller (and, for that matter, the end-buyer) would seem to alleviate a lot of the issues on this forum.

It will alleviate a lot of headaches and will be a great learning experience.
