I will give you a tenant's point of view, as our Land Lady jacked our rent $375/month with our new Oct 2022 lease. 

It's an older lady, and I'm trying to convince her to use her bank's billpay system.

Fingers crossed.   

The lady is a radiologist who was trying to help her friend who had an eviction and she signed the lease for him and he co-signed.

Hi Chris, I am currently working with a local investor client of mine looking to shift his REI portfolio away from SFR and more so into larger apartment complexes in the Northland Region of the KC Metro.I have been underwriting and analyzing deals recently in the $800k-2.5 million price range for him, so have 'my finger on the pulse' of what's available right now.

I helped a lady purchase her first home, and every house we saw that needed some work she would respond, "Mike can fix that" (her boyfriend).

I will be using Propel Property Management after I close (fingers crossed) on my deal in Warren. 

@Mallory Austin Congratulations and I have my fingers crossed your closing will happen on time!!

I cancelled a lease once before move-in when it became clear the lady was going to AirBnB it.

G'Day Bob,Not many "true" turnkey companies around anymore and I've seen a trend where investors want to DIY out of state and country.Personally, I think this is an even bigger recipe for disaster than buying turnkey.bBut that's just my opinion.Back in the day you had many "turnkey" companies selling crappy properties in crappy areas for a lot more than market value.Then they pass you on to a 3rd party PM that nickel and dimes you to death.Granted, if you want to DIY I would always advise moving to the market that you want to invest in.Spending enough time with key people needed to make your venture a success.Yep, easier said than done 🤷‍♂️If you DIY from out of state, you will probably find an "investor friendly" agent that will flog you expensive property from the MLS, refer a "good" contractor and then you will most likely also get nickel and dimed by a referred "trustworthy" PM.IMO, you are safer finding a reputable turnkey provider in a market that you want to invest in and go from there.If $#%@ hit's the fan (Which it always does in real estate), at least you have everyone to blame under the same roof.A true turnkey provider will have everything an out of state investor would/want and need under the same roof.No finger pointing is allowed lolI'm bias as we offer turnkey so take my words with a grain of salt.Just happy to offer my 0.2 Aussie cents.Wishing you much success
