If you want to find people who will try to help you lose your money, telling them how much money you have and where you will be is a good way to start.You are limiting yourself way too much by focusing on LA, but with $2 million to burn you could likely find some good cash flow if you are paying cash, but you don't sound like the management type just from this.

The step by step videos in this program I find to be easy to get through they are sometimes as short as 4 minutes detailing a step in the wholesaling process or a tool that helps manage your sellers and buyers and then they give you an action to take... they only release a few videos at a time which to be honest was sooooo frustrating, like I may have complained... but I see now it was forcing me to just take whatever "action step" in that video was, so now 3 weeks in I still and not anywhere near done with the coaching and can say I DO NOT understand the whole process but I am failing forward with hopefully 4 deals in the next 4-6 weeks!

I self manage 2 properties out of state and can help you if needed.

Do I get a property manager to help manage?

After investigation with the community management team, I made the decision to close both accounts for various violations of our forum rules.

It had never occurred to me that one could be self-sustaining through one's own resources, mainly because I had never made an effort to understand money management, retirement, or finances in general.An MMM blog post led me to BiggerPockets, a forum where the members, sophisticated investors, referred to their properties as "doors."

They promised a turnkey solution with active, professional, experienced project management and an entire permitting department at our disposal.

My broker's property management company is local to the area and very familiar and comfortable with this product type if you want hands off management.

Another plus is that I now manage a lot less units, so PM is minimized.

Just found out about the pros and cons of turnkey investing and what it is, would you personally go for a turn key companie to manage your properties or do you have a more efficient way of taking care of your investment while being out of state.
