Keep in mind though along with rehab the turnkey operator is paying all the holding costs generally most if not all turnkey companies use HML loans for their inventory ( thats my Job) and paying taxs insurance utls etc.. so you need to add 10 to 15 on top of the all in for holding costs..

Mind shooting me a PM?  

Keep that in mind and just proceed with the utmost caution. 

Do you mind sharing the name of that type of loan/lender that allows you to have the seller carry on a second position?

With that in mind, I’m considering purchasing four rental units over the next four years to build a stream of income that could help supplement my retirement by age 68.The challenge I’m facing is that the deals I’ve come across so far don’t make financial sense.

In my mind, the reason for doing this would be to have two engaged platforms versus one dominant one.

I'm seeking to be in an environment with like minded individuals to learn and network to grow my portfolio and eventually network to collaborate on larger deals once I have a better understanding of the commercial side. 

Very keen on meeting like minded REI people. 

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

A good company can do a market analysis to see what is the rental rates are for that particular area, do evaluation to see what repairs are needed, take the right pictures for marketing, have multiple ways of posting your property and finally getting the right tenants so you have a piece of mind.
