For an investor to compare any two properties offered by two different companies using the word Turnkey to describe their offering, they really have to dig deep into their due diligence rather than just assume that both are the same because they use the word Turnkey.I have read a lot of @Caleb Heimsoth's posts on here and I will agree with a little sliver of what he said, although over-all I think he makes the classic mistake that too many others make.  

That's classic.

I was going to start with the classic Absentee owners and was hoping to filter it down a bit by type of property and amount of time owned.  

I'm gathering my data from local sources, being the Commercial Recorder and the classics (county probate records).  

The classic real estate investing book (for residential real estate) of all time is Bill Nickerson's "How I turned $1000 into $3 Million Investing in Real Estate - In My Spare Time".

Great Anthony - thanks for your thoughts.Meanwhile, this classic scene from The Goonies articulates my point.

A classic example is banks saying that we cannot do a leaseback to the homeowners but now, they have suddenly realized that a foreclosure to rental program saves them loads of money on the long run.

This was the classic mistake of "wanting the best house in the worst neighborhood" 2 critical errors.

They range from RE books to  business books, marketing and sales books, personal finance books, autobiographies of  my  personal inspirations, personal finance books, and classics like "How to Win Friends and Influence People"-  working on my overall health.

And, in this case, you should have the policy that you don’t provide money until the house is vacant and you have the deed.REI Statement: “And not only sold, but sold to someone who can afford to buy it.”Note: This is a classic example of an embedded command.
