The suburbs have a number of good PM companies, but due to the low price points and rents, and the nightmare of dealing with the city and courts there, most of the good property managers in the general area won't touch Baltimore.

.- You close on December 10th- The property is in great shape and does not need any significant repairs- It only needs some paint touch-up and changing a couple of broken fixtures, which you do yourself- You spend the next week buying furniture, electronics and supplies and installing/arranging everything yourself- You also roll up your sleeves and scrub the toilets and sinks and appliances- You put it on AirBnB/VRBO and have your first guest renting it for the 3 days of Christmas- You second guest rents it for the following weekend and leaves before NYE- You personally clean and restock the place between these two guestsCongrats!

Get in touch with a real estate agent locally, and see what you can actually rent it out for right now.

A really nice home with some extra touches (a little granite, better flooring, nicer paint job, nicer cabinets, etc.) compared to the area will make potential tenants fall in love with the place.  2) Tenants that bring or can swing their own appliances are more financially stable (or just stable in general, ha!)

Basically, when the tree limbs start to touch at the top, you need to thin out.  

I also have investments in Kasa Ceiba and their Caribbean fund, would love to touch base to see how your properties are doing.

We are in touch already, but for anyone else reading this, I thought I'd throw in some thoughts about your question on starting with turnkeys and thoughts on that. 

I’ll be in touch 

Tampa is another one but I was never really close to being able to touch anything there before huge appreciation. 

Your tenant is experiencing life on earth and it shouldn't be a shock that the corners of the world are not all rounded and soft and warm to the touch.
