Best for the busy investor who wants a fairly passive investmentCONS: likely to be at or close to market value, maybe even over (ie: no equity in deal other than downpayment); a lot of less than competent and/or trustworthy turnkey companies (like elsewhere in REI); need to hold for at least 5-10 years to recover investment on sale; deals today are particularly hard to come by with the best and most established companies

Find a group of Team members you know are experienced and trustworthy.  

I would suggest calling a few agents and having a 10-15 minute conversation where you ask all the questions you have and choose the agent that fits your personality and seems trustworthy.

Meaning, lots of servicemembers (stable income and trustworthy tenants) buying properties or renting properties and apartments2.

Hoping to find a trustworthy wholesaler in the area if these next couple of deals fall through.

Trustworthy and experienced Team members are important to your dyeing successful.  

2 - Seek out trustworthy contractors and managers?

I was hoping to get some recommendations on a good cleaning person that is reasonably priced (maybe $20/hr or so) and very thorough/trustworthy.  

Build a trustworthy team.

The biggest concern for me, assuming the numbers work, is securing a trustworthy and proactive property manager.
