The simple answer is that buying turnkey and doing a BRRR are two different strategies, and are not compatible. 

This might not be an appropriate path for you, but, whatever the path you choose, remember that a slow and steady progress along your pre-determined path will take you a long way: hard work, integrity, and results...that is my simple formula.
