If you leverage you get ownership of more assets and ultimately more equity over time.The argument about toilets and faucets is the main reason I recommend investing using turnkey providers.I pay them a reasonable fee and they work for me.

Until one day, as I tell people now, it was like someone turned the water faucet off...no phone calls to the office, no interest, cancelled contracts, etc. 

Every now and then I find myself doing some small repairs as well if I don't feel like it is worth tasking out to someone like replacing an appliance, water heater, faucet, fixing/replacing a toilet, door or window.

Most retail customers want turn key or near turn key (paint a wall, change a faucet type of buyer).
