We even have some issues at times but we will do our best to get the issue resolved and take care of the client.Great post and agreed,It is never smooth sailing in real estate and issues will always arise.Its just a matter of working as a team to resolve them as quickly as possible and accommodating the investor as much as possible.Most turn key operators will wash their hands as soon as the sale is made and never look back.I believe a turn key company should always be of service to the investor no matter how long after they have purchased.If its too much to ask then keep it limited to only a certain amount of properties sold per year and work with only a limited number of investors.This limit can increase the quality of product and service.I have seen to many times genuine companies and individuals starting of great with an awesome product and service and after they start building the brand and getting well known they get greedy and it all goes to s***.As the saying goes "It takes a life time to build a reputation and only 5min to loose it"Thanks for reading and have a great day.

80k rehab does not cover outside the building, and the yard is a complete mess. a lot of concrete would need to be poured, new fence required, landscaping and grass needed, and as of now no where for anyone to park (old garage got turned into bedrooms) Not sure how much that would influence vacancy or value.They have permitting that expires in August, but he mentioned something about a failed inspection for the permit and that it needs to be refiled (Not sure what that means exactly)Very strange floor plan, not sure what the original owner was thinking with the layout, like he got greedy with the number of bed/bath.anyways, thats what i put together so far.
