We have bought 3 houses at auction - the best of which went smoothly with only about $10,000 in unexpected expenses (new drainfield for a septic) and we netted just under 6 figures.  

The companies you mention have been around for a while and have stood the test of time.They have stood the test of time in a niche called "turnkey real estate" that has always carried a stigma.So I think that speaks volumes of their quality 👍Nobody is perfect and those that work hard, will eventually make a mistake.As long as the mistake is an "honest mistake".And being a turnkey provider myself for 10+ years now I can sure say that some investors can be a true pain in the A$$ and it feels like they look for drama/issues intentionally instead of smooth sailing lolWith that said, I suggest doing your online research and reaching out to the one that tickles your fancy the most.And then go from there.Wishing you much success.

- Your structure Once you accept these responsibilities you will be able to better ensure a smooth execution of house hacking. 

Up until last year things had been running very smoothly with no issues.

Here's a comforting fact: Reno's got a handle on occupancy rates, keeping things smooth and steady for investors who like predictable cash flow.

***NOT taking off the old shingles, is only saving you around $1K (give or take)... if you're already going through all the hassle of new system, bite the bullet and do it correctly.When you remove the old layers, you can then: do any necessary repairs; possibly install ISO boards (insulation boards) smoothly; install the good membrane (not simple felt!)

Just make sure any money exchange is well documented to keep things smooth down the line.

Stay informed, meet the deadlines, and navigate the tax season smoothly.

If everything goes smoothly it's more than enough.

VOOG and strategically purchased real estate would get you there the fastest, while the munis and treasuries would smooth out the ride.
