@Joe FairlessWow unbelievably inspiring.

You just may find yourself addicted to growing and learning!

So it's not like Turnkey is pain-free, you have to do the work and know how to avoid being taken for a ride, like pretty much any big financial decision in life.I am always happy to provide info to new investors, as it fuels my BP addiction anyway ;) But before you or your friend make any decisions, it's crucial to have a serious heart to heart about what the goals are for the investment and what your needs are with regard to time commitment, risk, and control (do you need to be near the property, do you need to be in charge of tenants?).

Unbelievable you found a  MHIC licensed contractor to work for 10% profit margins, after expenses he made a 7.5 percent profit margin?

I should put some catchy key words in my post I guess, like potential squatters, bad tenants, amazing deal, unbelievable, epic, cash cow, etc. :) 

Just add preventative measures and insurance responsibilities to the tenant wanting this freedom/addiction.

I've recently become addicted to the Podcasts and listen to about 2 a day.

Essentially, your paying 20 cents on the dollar for property that is most likely going to be worth 50% or more than you bought 12 years earlier with unbelievable cash flow.  5.
