Philly and Trenton are great for MFR returns, and Birmingham is an option for them as well.

You will still need to do your due diligence as every investor should however you will have more time to focus elsewhere and definitely less stress.I use FS Houses in Indianapolis and Decas group in Birmingham.  

@Mabel Lung at the risk of being called a vulture, I'd still like to welcome you to BP ;) The reasons you outlined for being interested in turnkey are spot on and, while there are definitely ways to make money closer to home or through other avenues, if you find a provider you really trust, turnkey can be one of the easiest ways to generate passive income.Full disclosure, I am the CEO of Spartan Invest, a full service turnkey outfit in Birmingham, AL, but being on the other side of the contract doesn't mean we providers don't have plenty of useful information to share!
