I'd be getting a killer deal on the fence due to having left over materials from another construction project at my parents property (they're letting me use their extra mat.) but it will still cost me at least $500 in extra lumber/supplies/labor but is it worth this? 

It was a decision based on need because my parents (who own the home) moved in with me so they turned their home into a rental.

Our tenants child (1.5 yo) is allergic to dogs.

My parents have invested in Montana over the years and I have helped with the finances.

I've taken design classes, carpentry/construction courses, and grew up with parents that built and fixed things for a living.

@Victor So If your parent is going to want to eventually qualify for assistance when she goes into a senior home, you definitely should talk with an elder law attorney who is licensed in your state.That is NOT optional.

Whatever the case we want a lot of exits, and we want to buy under market.As I said, turnkey doesnt fit our model, and we dont invest out of state (with one unique one off exception due to a child's college, and we are losing our shirt on that purchase).I think turnkey is fine if you do your own research, but I think its a mistake to consider turnkey a buy and forget investment.Maybe others who specialize on out of state purchases or turnkey investing could give you a little better guidance than I can.

This is a venture between me, my boyfriend, and my parents.

The need to get out from underneath my parents, freedom, etc...that and I knew the path to wealth was in RE.
