Sticking with strategy is key.

I take it one step further I ask for keys to market property and put right to market property in contract under addendum.

We closed a dozen of these in less than 90 days last year, so it's certainly possible.The key is to find a bank/underwriter who will do the loans in under 90 days, and "encourage" your buyers to use that lender.

The keys are this Get cash reserves in place.

The key is getting a big enough down stroke when they move in to reduce the risk of them trashing the place.

Should I try to rerent the place out or do I have to leave it for a while since I did not get the keys back or a written notice?

Since this was turn key, the PM possibly put in the tenant just before we exchanged contracts.

Whereas real estate you get in and influence the value of the investment directly by improvements and such, and you decide what direction the investment is going to take.They are both very interesting and I think a person's personality comes into play as to which vehicle they prefer, however in the "long run" they both done well for investors!

I'd even think of offering the owner $1000 or so for the deed/keys.

Remember, the key is to move slow - and patience will save you.
