I've found the key to rentals is tenant selection -get it wrong and you're in for a world of hurt.

The key is to find a niche, like near that gun range, and to provide a "wow factor", like an in ground pool, game room, near a park, a natural preserve, etc.

I starting in REI in February 2018 when I turned my previous primary residence into a rental and became a landlord and soon after bought a turn key rental in Bossier City, Louisiana.

then you would need to earn $1000.  50% is the key. 

There's always risk when dealing with turn key companies because you're dependent on them for everything starting with property value and pro forma all the way through rehab and leasing.

No first months rent, no keys.
