Typically speaking, you will have a difficult time finding "turn key" properties that make a lot of sense from an investment standpoint in this market and will find that the properties with the greatest potential for investment, yes even buy & hold, are those that you can add value to in a way that the typical "retail" buyer can not (or is likely unwilling to).
