For months I spent time researching different investment methods, and various ways people tend to get started, but recently I made a decision to follow through on my chosen niche for getting started in making money through real estate and I fully committed to pursuing that one avenue.

Here's what I'm looking for:$50K minimum loan amount30-day seasoning requirement or less70% to 75% LTV (based on end value of the project, not purchase and rehab costs committed)I've talked to quite a few local, community banks here in ATL.  

That's a $80 - $200 a month bill depending.You're giving someone keys to your property, why not know as much as possible on the applicant.I'd be suspect of a property management company that doesn't due their due diligence.A couple things I learned from @Kim Meredith Hampton on screening property management companies.What kind of commitment are they (the PM company) asking from you?

As far as checking that box on my P &S agreement,  I'd say most absentee landlords wouldn't be comfortable making that commitment until they were sure the deal is going to close.  

I thought turn key meant "one and done" you pay, the property is yours (you did your due diligence and made sure the cash flow was not inflated, also have all your i's dotted and your t's crossed with eviction insurance and all that) and they manage the property for you.Is that not correct, I mean I know there "BAD" turnkey real estate companies who take advantage of people but I would think that a simple google search would give you want you need to know (I really like Morris Investing, I researched the day lights out of them (that is how I found out the 100% cash buy in) the worse I have found is that they take a while to call you back and when they do call you need to be ready because if your not they go to the next on the list and it can take them a while to get back to you with the next deal.

The name of the game then is to find properties that deliver that and then seek put yourself in position to get the greatest possible chance at appreciation and cash flow over the next few years/decades.7) @Vanessa T. 

It's a lot of info to absorb at first but what I did was set myself a time limit (6mos) for education and then committed to buying my first property.

Basically, I have quite a bit on my plate with my full time job and my side business of Rental properties, I would recommend making a detailed list of everything that needs done on a property, duplicate it for each property, schedule everything out to a T..
