Putting in a contingency offer would be a waste of time as this will definitely sell to someone without one.

Turnkey is (when done by a good provider) going to have minimal first year repairs and vacancy, but you're going to pay a premium for things to be replaced that you probably wouldn't have spent the money to replace if you had owned the property.

Very minimal fees....but you don't get to actively buy or sell. 

Your goal is minimizing your losses, not minimizing their losses.I wish you the best of luck, it's an unfortunate situation that every investor fears!

No/minimal rehab. 11% ROI on 1st property.

I too am looking to do value add deals in the future, but I want to start out with minimal repairs.

I have yet to pay more than $20 a bottle for wine in this country and not regret my completely wasted money.

Fees for a VA streamline refinance are minimal.
