But, I'd say that there is no such thing as a shortcut regarding knowing all of the landlord-tenant laws for the area, and doing thorough research on the market, prices, types of tenants, turnover, rent vacancy rate, on and on.I think people who look for turnkey are usually people who don't want to do all of the above and therefore they are ripe for the picking by con artists in the business, especially by unscrupulous property management firms.Not saying all property managers are ripoff artists, but there is a large percentage that take advantage of ignorant investors.Buyer beware and all that.

I wouldn't buy a book with that title anymore (I know there are other ways to do this stuff, not looking for shortcuts anymore) but I'm sure glad I bought it and was led to this site. 

Perhaps I am missing something with Stessa Pro but they dont seem to be able to handle the basic cash management functions including receiving rent payments and crediting them in a timely manner (2 months in a row my rental receipts were held in limbo for almost 2 weeks) Experienced very poor haphazard customer service .

If you want your listing to sound fun and have a playful tone, use creative language rather than a shortcut.
