Some people are simply unsuspecting.

Another way around this is to solicit multiple quotes for the jobs.Here's the thing George, all of what you stated has happened to a lot of unsuspecting newbie investors.

The fact that a turn key company sells C class properties doesn't mean they are ripping off unsuspecting investors.

That is why I went brutal on your arse when you pay your VA to trick people into convincing the unsuspecting newbies DMM works!

Wouldn't you say that you speak with unsuspecting/desperate sellers that maybe don't understand the true value of their home, yet you convince them to sell to you at a discount and then you turn around and sell it at a higher price for a *drumroll* PROFIT?!

That's how they make their money, by enticing unsuspecting dreamers to a lifestyle of the rich and famous with no money down and no risk.

@Chris Randall   I would not waste your time... who cares about the car.. cars are dime a dozen.if you want to be a turn key provider get on with it... plenty of folks here like to buy turn key. your product will stand out.. if your not in Madison WI then were are you.. hopefully your not in the hood of some cheap mid west town selling ghetto dogs to unsuspecting buyers in LA

Specifically with the cash for keys approach--although it can potentially save time and money, it could also be releasing and virtually encouraging a bad tenant to go and find another unsuspecting landlord who will not see any of their past on the credit check.  

On the other hand, with selling the property I would have plenty of cash to take care of any unsuspecting problems.
