, buying turnkey is a slow, long-term strategy in which you are trading cash flow and risk for instant gratification.

I think the reason they are so prevalent as you asked is because we live in an instant gratification and want it now society.

They are not allowed to discriminate based upon race, color, creed/religion, sex (though it does not state it, I am assuming this includes sexual orientation), disabilities, familial status, or national origin.

Nothing is impossible but unless you have a focused goal, patiences, the ability to defer gratification and crystal clear process and systems it will never happen.

IMO flipping is a "job" meaning it requires you to be here to make money and it great for immediate gratification.  

Finally, as a last consideration be sure to check your state's sexual offender database to make sure there are no sex offenders living in close proximity as this would kill your ability to resell at a good price.

You're sacrificing long term goals for short term gratification. 99% of RE investors start while having a W2 job, and the better paying the W2 job, the better chance of success you'll have in RE investing.

Our stated criteria (we are intentionally vague since we don't charge screening fees, we prefer a wider applicant pool to choose from):Our Criteria:We do not deny housing for race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap, sexual orientation, marital status, or familial status.We do deny housing to individuals: when the application is not complete or accurate where there is not sufficient income/resources to pay rent and live (2x rent)where there is poor prior tenancy: evictions, violations, damage to rental property, poorly handled move outs, amounts are still owing to landlords or utilities.

ahhh yes more policy to make it tougher on landlords...who by the way delayed instant gratification to save up to invest their hard earned money into a property in order to provide a roof for someone, who in turn doesn't want to (some can't) delay instant gratification, all with the goal of earning a little return for investing.  

That helped me to realize that oftentimes, delaying gratification leads to more satisfaction of the simple things.No, you don't need Top Ramen noodles for lunch everyday.
