Hi @Matt Goudreau-- Welcome to BiggerPockets.Just to address your question, turnkey rentals are a good option for most people, especially those who are looking for a more passive investment strategy and maybe don't have the experience or contacts to actively build a real estate portfolio from a distance.If ultimately you plan to be a more active real estate investor where you assemble a team, acquire distressed properties, renovate them, and place them under management, then you can grow into that role.Many if not most investors opt to stay on the passive side so they can focus on their family, career, and lifestyle activities.Remember, having the right TEAM is critical.
