In addition, some loans can have 5 or 10 year terms or not be fixed rate so if rates rise or you need to refi at the wrong time, sorry you lose.7) Overpaying - If you buy a property at too high a price you can cash flow but still lose because when you exit or try and refi you will pay around 5% in many cases to get in and out plus maybe not get your full purchase price out.8) Construction/contractor issues - contractors who take your money, do a poor job, take away too long etc. can cause major losses.9) Buying in the wrong area - If your B area turns into a C or a D the equity values will plummet as will your tenant base .

Alex Silang "Biggest mistake" was to do out-of-state turnkey investing

Many will pass off C or lower neighborhoods as class B neighborhoods, and the financials blow up immediately.MY biggest issue with Turnkey investments is I think the market is getting near a top.  3-4 years ago, when property was undervalued and market prices were half of what they are now, it was fairly easy to buy a house, rehab it, put in tenants, do the property management and then sell it to an investor who could then make a big cash on cash return.IMO the market is too competitive right now.
