Those that do cash for keys Reward/encourage undesired behaviorMake it difficult for LL who are properly screening tenants from being able to detect a problem tenant. 

The elevator video of Elisa Lam went viral and legions of amateur detectives used the internet to try to solve the mystery of what happened to her, a 21-year-old Canadian tourist on her first trip to Los Angeles.

Then make sure that the ledgers you're getting match those amounts (it's easiest if the PM or landlord keeps a separate ledger for tenant and HA but a lot do not and it can take some detective work to decipher which payments are which).Section 8 is a great program when executed well.

So they are financially misaligned on long-term performance (and I think this is why there are so many people who have had bad turnkey experiences) And, as someone who has done lots of rehabs directly myself, I have seen hundreds of ways that turnkey operator could take shortcuts (to the detriment of the investor but beneficial to their bottom line) which investor could never detect (or not until years later when it's too late).

I had a roof where I knew the whole front edge was rotten so I had them include that in bid but left per sheet cost for anything else they found that wouldn’t be detectable until it was all torn apart.

Sometime they'll even tell you if they detected a leak recently which can be great knowledge for when you're conducting your home inspection. 

Does anyone know if commercial insurers offer a discount for installed water/leak detection sensors throughout my properties?
