Good for you aligning your goals with your education.

Not sure how it got to that point but I usually see things like this happen when the investor doesn't take time to weed out all the decision makers and/or fail to align the benefits of their offer with the seller's pain points (motivation) in an easy to understand way. 

Also rented tools can be out of alignment and a first time user wouldn't know the signs.

I am finished with a Rental Ready, all repaired house for $160K. which aligns with all the comp houses South of Gandy Blvd.

I have found a potential area/property that aligns with my near impossible requirements.

It's the only payment that a sponsor is guaranteed to get, but it is often not significant compared to the other payouts, so his interests are still aligned with that of his investors.

Which aligns best with your needs?

Find a handful of likeminded folks that align with your goals and you'll be moving forward in no time.  

As an alternative to turnkey, I have more recently focused my buy and hold investing with a company that offers interests in portfolios of 10 SFRs at a time, that are co-owned by the managers for diversifying and aligned interests.  

I shopped pretty hard on my Refi and found 3 main products....5/1 ARM (lock at 4.25% for 5 years, then review, $2500 origination) Interest only (wasn't interested as it didn't align w my longterm goals), and a Fixed Product (15-30 yrs. high origination costs).
