They did a fantastic job and completed it in 2 months (late November)Sell: Lesson learned, not a lot of people want to buy a house between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Another school of thought is jump in with both feet and learn fast "jump, then build your parachute on the way down"  There are many books available from this site and others, the bigger pocket books are fantastic and really do a good job of getting you up to speed quickly, my suggestion would be to start with "the book on rental property investing" and then the BRRRR book and see how you feel after those two.

The real estate community in OKC is fantastic, so feel free to reach out to the community if you need help.

Older properties have cast iron plumbing which if well maintained are fantastic but the cost of repair or replacement can become very high.

Turnkey operations are not fantastic IMO.

I've seen people live there and rent the main house, or live there and Airb&b the main house (fantastic returns for that method by the way). 

Work on perfecting this, as well as finding a fantastic investor-friendly contractor to work with, and to walk the property with.

I tend to think that they are a fantastic tool and actually a preferred method of funding or partially funding deals.

I think this is a fantastic idea!

@Louis Lechanteur Fantastic man!
