Also, in your opinion, is there more value in being within walking distance of a bus route vs. not?

It essentially is as simple as walking into a bank and applying.I really don't know anything about FHA 203k loans, but most loan officers who handle FHA should.I would check your lease.

Now, the advantages of having it in house with the turnkey company (or at least closely associated) are several IMHO:1) they are motivated to keep the investor happy so that investor will buy more properties in the future2) it doesn't have to be a profit center, as the company is making money on the sale3) they are more accountable: the company is not just selling you a property and walking away, they have committed to working with you and your investment for years to comeIt is of course possible to put your own team together, realtor, etc and many investors do that.  

How many properties have you guys actually walked through?

I have completed three walk-throughs and look forward to making my first deal. 

I am here to help, whether it's using the contacts I have in Wisconsin, walking through issues or working with you on buying, selling or management of your apartment building.

I am looking to walk away from my 9 to 5 and do this full-time in the very near future.If there is anyone in the Tampa/St.

I hate to walk away, but I can't use money I don't have yet. 

The wisest of investors know when to walk away, and that's a tough thing to do.I haven't done an investment property deal yet, but when I do in a couple of months I plan on my first one to be a relatively small deal.

Give them a basic scope of work as you walk through.
