Your net rents will be pretty much identical regardless of if you DIY or go turnkey (assuming all other things are equal, like property class and monthly rent), because you'll pay a PM and leasing fee either way.Both options can work very very well, its all about what you want to accomplish, and how much time and energy you're willing to put in vs how much risk you want to take on.

A couple examples, I have three almost identical properties that have performed well in a college housing market, the price run up on them has been huge.

One would think that since the "profit" on these two was only a $17 difference to each office that I would receive almost an identical payout from each one, yet that was not the case.  

Case in point, can someone identity anything that is up only 9% annualized?  

You buy 2 properties that are the same size, right next doors to each other, put the same amount of rehab into them, everything is identical.

If we avoid piles of taxes now, and build up a 1,000,000 tax-deferred 401k, and someone else pays their taxes now and uses a Roth, and builds up a 1,000,000 Roth - their million is bigger than our million - because we must pay taxes to access ours.Now - assuming identical returns, it will take them 'more money' to build their Million Dollar Roth, because to make the same contributions, they must also pay taxes.  

Indeed, if a tenant provides any PII info, just be sure anything like account numbers, SSN, or other identity data is obfuscated before you as landlord will accept it.  

@Mike H.In Illinois(,Indiana and Wisconsin also I believe), First Midwest Bank is one that makes HELOC on investment properties with terms essentially identical to a typical owner occupied HELOC.

We wanted an average of 640 or above, and the Wife meets it but the Husband does not, he says its because of identity theft.Thoughts, what would you choose?

Without insurance a dental scaling cost $60,  I dental implant cost $1000-$1500.
