@Kris Lou Be careful with agents as 95%+ of them really only know how to handle owner-occupied transactions.We don't do biz in Indianapolis, so this is unbiased info we hope you find useful:Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

My belief is that Praxis is the gold-standard.

@Gregory Banks I can offer some practical advice and referrals.

You make it so easy, you're so obvious, one need not travel further than the second sentence on your web page to find the first lie -- you may find yourself being accountable over silly practices and small dollars.

We both know the numbers you used (mostly that 1000% return number) aren't practical, but humoring them paints an interesting picture about the financial advantage of leverage.

Tried other things but can't make anything better since it gives me space, allows me to prioritize and delegate, and is practically free.

Start with a standard offer, and write a contingency into it for electricity, all the below ground utilities, and then work your way to zoning, permitting etc.

The way I see it the turnkey companies help a) find the deal, b) fix it up to "their standards" and c) manage the property. 

By adhering to our standard procedures, we’re able to maintain consistency and fairness across all tenants, avoiding any perception of favoritism.Thanks again for your feedback!

If you are going to test the market with a new standard, be patient.
