Trevor Crabtree First Turnkey Property
14 May 2024 | 31 replies
G'Day Trevor,Just posted the same below to another investor asking about turnkey and my advice stays the same šŸ˜There aren'tĀ 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.But 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 šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø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

If you want to talk risk, put down the PE talk for a second and look at commercial real estate, inflation, higher defaults, forever wars, growing china dependenceĀ and the economy and tell me that real estate would not be effected equally across the entire board when the house of cards fall, yet dividen stocks (this is a fact) tend to out perform the rest of the market due to hardships not really keeping people from drinking coke and eating atĀ fast food chains.

Eric Kahn Gale 2-Flat: Replacing Galvanized Pipe with Copper
8 May 2024 | 33 replies
I agree that's true but kind of a mute point imo... if you're concerned with the pex leaching chemicals then you should be concerned with the piping that city water travels in before reaching your pex lines and the quality of the city tap water in general.... as well as anything you drink that's bottled and any food that's bagged in plastic even those labelled as food safe which have been shown to leach chemicals.
