I'm normally not one to be critical, as you never truly know the whole story, but this is one that I think deserves addressing and I'm glad to hear the responses so far.

good point, however i do feel they are individuals that want to and don't have the means to yet. also it would be mainly rental but i would like to give an option to buy, if they were to choose that option it would be with a larger security deposit and portions of their rent to go towards the house sale price, with a 1 yr agreement. the intentions is and wishful thinking would be to acquire tenants who would care for the place as their own cause they intend to buy. once again wishful thinking. open to criticism. thanks  

IT is critical that those that wish to do Turnkey get with the best company possible and the best PM possible. and as an industry it really has gotten better as the rental stock has moved up in quality... its guys like you and my other vendors that hold their own that are cleaning up on the lower end stuff.. which is totally appropriate because like you they can and do manage it well. its their life...

Having a partner and or great property manager is critical out of state. 

Research is critical and can be the difference between enjoying your investment or hating it.

It is your intent to hold for rental, investment or business use that is critical. 

There are some nooks and crannies on that site that are really hard to navigate to that have absolutely critical information about purchasing tax deeds.One thing I have learned for sure from my research is that there are a ton of traps and pitfalls for the unwary tax deed investor in Arkansas, and that I need to have a good title company, PI, and lawyer in place before I buy anything - even while I'm setting up the systems.

Tenant screening is critical though, as this is the kind of area where you can get tenants that make a strong income with good credit, all the way to people who are on government assistance.Just my thoughts.

When they are dealing with a faceless, cold, corporation such as a property management company, the tenant has no qualms about asking for repairs on the smallest little things and as frequently as they want.Unless, you plan to be a slumlord in a class D/C property/neighborhood - being a good landlord is critically important to our success as real estate investors.  

Any responses or criticism is much appreciated.
