Despite me being the active partner in our business, I also used a tip from the podcasts and started giving her a bonus once a deal was done. 

Active bankruptcy or foreclosure, or one that closed within the last 12 months2.

I would say at the beginning play it safe-walk before you run etc.

I'm also actively networking with others to increase my funds/passive income by partnering in deals, providing income, working extra, whatever I can do.The point of all this is that I am approaching it like a business.

I am actively trying to recoup my loss. 

It also would cut down on unrealistic expectations if the Turnkey Company would provide the investor with a Time Table Chart Itemized with activities, times and duties of how the process works and who to contact if there is a hiccup.

I would still visit the property 2-3 times a year as my alma mater plays this team once a year and it's not THAT far.

Problems with the contractor caused delays in getting it onto the market, and I missed the active buying season in my area.

There are lots of different scenarios that could come into play here.

Lance Johnson - it sounds like you’re wholesaling a contract to buy the duplexes, but if you’re under contract to purchase the house, how is it still active on MLS?
