One reviewer described it as “section 8 meets Airbnb…..”

The rate and terms on the 2nd lien position if you can find one may also not make it worth the cash out.

There are smaller one-off groups as well. 

Quote from @Alex Tang: Hello,One of my rentals was heavily damaged in a fire. 

If you are focusing more on turnkey's then I'd suggest partnering with one of the investment companies so you can buy a property that's been completely renovated and that has a resident already in place.

I love working with their agents and financing team, yes, they are not the cheapest one but I've found good deals with them ( since then I bought more properties) and a good deal it's all you need.

This is a numbers game so you may have to take an aggressive approach towards negotiating several deals before one of them actually works out.

Learn the area, meet other investors at meet-ups and one-on-one conversations, and once you feel more confident, you can make a purchase to live in.
