I'm a novice, but I was curious to see what multi-unit properties are available in PG county and at least based on Redfin, I didn't see any "multi-family" units. 

Ultimately, Union City is behind its competition and that presents a lingering opportunity for an experienced or novice real estate investor.

All this to say, I'm not completely novice but definitely not an expert and I've never done a massive renovation.Recently we purchased a parcel (I'll call it land A) to build a SFH but after a lot of unfortunate incidents we pulled the plug and still carried the debt.

My take is that for the majority of novice investors, the idea of the "best deal" is missing the forest for the trees.

I love the idea of wholesaling and got a our primary residence at 60% of ARV even as the novice I am, but I have absolutely no time to drive for dollars or cold call but would love to start.

Those were my (novice) thoughts as well being a condo v SFH.

So as a novice wholesaler my direct mail marketing is bringing me more deals than I can handle at the moment.

Would you recommend a Novice first time investor to go with the Turnkey Company?

Its always the novice or the greedy that stays and plays a bit to long at the party and is decimated.

In general if the name sounds more social such as has network, brew, etc in the name, it will have a less experienced investors and more novice investors.
