I’m going to offer the opposite news in my neck of the woods. 

A few quick observations: Is S8 not running mandatory annual inspections in your neck of the woods? 

They would be recorded on title.In our neck of the woods, there have been developments of these over the years and don't hold their value very well.I agree with @Clint Barrett that you may be better off with SFR's.  

New Bldg Inspector arrives & decided to flex his flaccid muscle. 

Peter, please PM sometime as I will be moving to your neck of the woods this summer. 

Big burly guys with neck tats that chew tobacco for breakfast. 

So there are multiple necks to squeeze when purchasing from them.Just like most turnkeys you’re going to pay top dollar on the homes, so there is little to no room for BRRRR, and the properties they sell are below 60K - so most banks wont put a mortgage on them.

I wonder what the cap rates in your neck of the woods are?

Welcome to BiggerPockets, @Aaron GoffI see you're in Maryland - I'm not sure the market out there but I know we have members in your neck of the woods.I'd start networking on BiggerPockets by reaching out with Colleague Requests to people near you.

Doubly so from long distance.There is definitely a market for vacation rentals in the area, but if they're truly trying to take on a vacation rental, and not an Air BNB operation, they should consider stuff more in your neck of the woods, on the islands and such.
