By the nature of the question I’d highly recommend talking to an eviction attorney.

Naturally you'll need to get the financing bit figured out.

The answer depends on the nature of the job you need to get done.

I've only seen turnkey investors get screwed by two problems: 1. issues that came up that would've been avoided had proper due diligence been done and 2. freak of nature issues, which can happen on any property.

We got a text message today from the female applicant stating that her and her boyfriend had broken up because he had cheated on her and he also apparently lied to her about having cancer.

As mentioned, they can be great for learning, but limited in nature, depending on structure.  

@Nic Stergion, I don't feel like I am a natural salesperson so it's mentally tiring at times but I love the tech industry and am good with people (for the most part haha).

Just my 2 cents, and I'm conservative by nature, but real estate cycles average every 14 years over the last 100, so we're due.

I had a potential tenant ask if this policy included a "bearded dragon"...small lizard that is kept in a tank.Does anyone have any experience with pets of this nature?

It would certainly be cheaper, and would better reflect the true nature of the appraisal and what it means to all parties.
