Luck ONLY dictates our starting line and what the hurdles will look like, EVERYONE has hurdles, nobody get's a clear path it's just the excuses people feed themselves to do nothing that breeds to wine of "oh well so & so doesn't have to deal with....." yeah well so-and-so doesn't have some of your advantages either. 

In my state, the tenant's cannot dictate that the contractors cannot come in to make a repair.

I will tell you, do what you want and don't let others dictate what success means for you.  

Because bonds dictate interest rates, we can also say CPI has caused just as much volatility in the mortgage world.

If the turnkey does not sign this, and you have some contingency in place in the contract, then I think the EM just sits in escrow, and a few years later the title company just gives you the money back. without release from buyer and seller the EM at some point gets interpleaded to the court and ends up in the states excess proceeds division.. it is NOT just given back.. but the bigger question is who did he make the EM check out to .. was it the turnkey provider themselves if so good luck getting that back .. if its escrow then the above will dictate.

Typical Investment loans will take 20% to 30% of the rentals price as a down, and maybe some fixup money, and maybe some cash reserves as dictated by the bank (the bank is your dictator in these deals), and possibly some personal net worth amount also.Can you touch the 20% enough times to earn a living from the rental cash flows, or flips (but time may be growing short on flips due to the economy going from Great to Awful).There is a program where you can put 3.5% down and live in a unit for 2,3 or 4 plexes, but will the cash flow support you?
