Hi @Julie Muse,What a fantastic example of recognizing and executing a market-ready opportunity!

Kevin I’m not saying it’s a good or bad investment and this is nothing against your personally but at some point you will HAVE to fully dive in and fully understand the scope of your investment whether it’s turnkey or anything else if you are going to a chance at ‘controlling’ the outcome you are seeking.

Rent is "paid" when they initiate transfer not when it hits my account because they have no control over the lag time.

I guess my challenge right now is to define the strategy and balance all the factors, such as job and population growth (value increase), cashflow (demand & supply market, interest rate, property tax, maintenance cost), and risk control (insurance etc). 

We like to stay in control all through the process..

But this method forces you to pay down your loans faster while still giving you access to cash when you need it.But it's FANTASTIC for real estate investors.

I am worried about having an intermediary taking control of my property and renting to tenants I haven't screened.
