The money makers will offer these in any market, but the lower their stock goes the higher premium you pay.

Meth makers would get someone to apply for a rental who appeared to be the perfect tenant.  

My tenant in California just told me that he can’t make rent next month due to the Covid19 pandemic.

Somehow, I sincerely doubt that whatever VA statute that allows the maker of a contract (supposedly) to arbitrarily include a provision that the person who breaches that contract must pay them 25% of the amount on the contract - includes landlord-tenant statutes.So, prove you are right in VA, regarding residential leases.  

I believe most So Cal investors who invest in Midwest turnkey properties likely would have been better served investing locally.However, if I were in one of those low cost Midwest market, I have confidence that I could make RE work in that market.Mostly I believe smart RE investors can profit in virtually any RE market.  

I consider myself to be very lucky because I bought early and I did not read any rei books.Yes many can say that ...my hs econ teacher back in 1999 would tell us how stupid his brother was and how he even did an adult film because that's the type of low life.  

The bug bombs and all that stuff just doesn't work when population levels reach a certain point.The pest control company wore bio suits and filmed the fumigation and treatment of the unit in the building.

You're much more financially stable to make real moves, compared to someone in their 20's who's main issue is financing 95% of the time.

Turn that property into a more of a money maker?

.- some won't agree but I install glass top ovens and a fridge with water/ice maker.
