So my husband and I bought our first investment property in November and Chase is our servicer.

Purchase price: $350,000 Cash invested: $10,000 Sale price: $385,000 Clean out and minor repairs.

You can still self manage, but repairs should be hired out if possible.

Likewise if you have any advice on this strategy (for example - things to be aware of when working with a full service turnkey company like this?) 

I have been talking to customer service for 2 weeks now because the software will not link to my bank account. 

There will be some giant surprises to many there when you have to start paying engineers for frequent evaluations and making the structural repairs required.   

I don't think I can go back and claim those when we moved the property into the LLC and actually put the unit into service.

Another thing you can do is set up an LLC with a third party service as agent, and that same or another service as manager/member.
