But when I started self managing in my units in San Diego, it wasn't terribly difficult.

Also, there are numerous challenges dealing with Turnkey providers:1) Terrible renovation work - we've taken over many properties that investor bought turnkey and they were shocked to learn the true condition of their property from our TakeOver video.

If you add those out of pocket expenses it will take you almost 170 months to recover, that is more than 14 years.This is a terrible deal!

Hey Marcus, I just replied to your email a bit ago with some reasons why Detroit agents are generally terrible :-)Outside of that is the challenge that there's just not much inventory out there (historically speaking). 

The whole situation seems strange since the owner let all three get this delinquent - and managed to place three non-paying tenants.If we're talking about the same one, it's price now is starting to get more attractive for a triplex in that area, even with the need to evict (of course that assumes the condition of the property itself isn't terrible).It will take time and money to get them out or get them to at least start paying again, but usually you get "deals" by agreeing to take on situations like this one.Personally, I'd advise a first time investor client against getting started with one like this and saving that for a few deals down the road.

They can be terrible and stay terrible.
