Related, you will want a contractor who is used to doing projects like this on schedule and on budget.

Quote from @Nicholas Dillon: Hi guys,I am a relatively new RE investor.  

According to the article, around 5% of the properties are being bought by investment companies, leading to concerns that regular homebuyers are being priced out of the market.1) Do you think this could become a long-term issue, given that the current percentage of investor-bought properties is relatively small?

Second, even in countries that do allow foreigners to buy investment properties relatively easily (like Spain), you typically have to come up with much larger down payments (like 40%+) as a foreigner.

Most turnkey companies proforma does not tell the complete story and that is why is called "PROFORMA" OR "PROJECTION", they don't account for the true vacancy, leasing fees, holding costs, and Headache factors that come with a Class C and D properties and neighborhoods.Hopefully, they can help you get to 100% occupancy and sell the property so that you can re-invest in a better neighborhood and relatively newer property like 2020 or newer if is possible in that market, or just go to another market you understand better or have some kind of connection with.All the best and keep us posted on your progress.

As a professional property manager, I'm coming across an interesting trend related to institutions providing financial assistance for tenants who have trouble paying their security deposit and I would love to hear feedback from the BP community.Large PM companies have begun partnering with financial institutions, such as Rhino Insurance, to help tenants who struggle with paying their security deposit.

Somewhere there is a relative scenario where it’s not worth it.  

I’ve heard about partnering with insurance companies for displaced families, working with military personnel in need of temporary housing, and possibly connecting with other organizations that require mid-term accommodations.I tried reaching out to GEICO about insurance-related housing needs, but they didn’t seem to have a clear process.Does anyone have experience with this niche?

With good credit and a relatively low LTV, they may price comparably. 

Pace's people have pretty much told their affiliates and those with Gator related Facebook groups to pound sand and not use Gator or his name in them anymore.
