I'm fairly handy, but just to balance things with my 9-5 job, focusing on something that just needs superficial updates or something nearly turn-key is probably best. 

Turned out to be a lesson learned more than anything.  

Did you lie to the mortgage co and produce a “bogus” lease in order to obtain financing?  

I’m about to tell you about a deal that could have easily fallen apart, but instead turned into a $200k profit after a lengthy eviction process.

We bought this property in York County, SC with the goal of turning it into a rental.

I think it gives great insight into turn key rentals. 

(Like I think Craigslist is still one of the best websites on the internet, but for some people it's a total turn-off because it still looks like 1995).Capterra.com is a great site for research in this category (and business software in general). 

It turns black and white into gray and could jeopardize both parties ability to subrogate against the other.

And what is your price point and are you looking for turn-key properties or something along the lines of a "fixer upper"?

I turned on utilities and kept them till the tenant took over on the one and still have the other.
