great points Joe.. i think Frank is just a little late to understanding how big and how much business is done in the turn key space.. that model is market makers if it was not for turnkey throughout the US those markets would never have rebounded as they have.. you bring in out of area investors many times with cash and they have the financial ability to carry these properties.. if they were all great deals there in the mid west or rust belt then it would be like the west coast were we dont really import buyers at all..

We live in Shelton so it is very accessible.

The goal would be to Airbnb the place out so that we can cash flow more than would be possible with a long-term rental, and so that we would have access to the home for ourselves when desired.
