I live in Hawaii and CA so I don't do TurnKeys since these are very profitable markets but it seems the total lack of valuation fundamentals is very common.

It was written in 2004 so some of the specifics around numbers and finance rates are outdated, but it's an excellent book that goes through the fundamentals of investing.

Wow is all I can think.This infringes on fundamental real property rights.  

The fundamentals of real estate investing apply to all of them.

Or in other words, buy at the funeral, sell at the wedding LOLAs long as the fundamentals are sound, money will chase yield.

But for some reason this book seems to be the one that fundamentally changes peoples mindset towards wealth and money.

But along the way, about a year ago, I signed up for a class at the Junior College near where I live to get a formal weekly basis of knowledge on Real Estate Principles, and now this semester, Fundamentals.
