I wanted to get some advice on here to make sure I wasn't spinning my wheels and making sure I was looking in the right areas.

For us, the turnkey business is more about volume then minimum profits; we will enter into deals that we know have very slim profit margins b/c we have more buyers then houses and our goal is to build the management company with a good portfolio of houses as that is a very sustainable business with other business opportunities that can spin off that.  

A spin off of this, is that no tenant on earth will take as good of care of your property as you will if you live there.  

There are also several spin off REI clubs.

My head’s kinda spinning right now in terms of what to do...it’s a little frustrating because after hearing all these “50 doors in 5 years!”

You may find that a turn key company may be willing to spin off some properties from their program.

If it's just an individually owned company that unties bundles to spin off, they may not, if they are an insured loan servicing company they may cover their acquisition and holding period.

You are accurate that they need to spin off returns in excess of their expenses (including there cost of debt), but to make the comparison of a small company to a company that has registered bonds is a stretch.
