The companies you mention have been around for a while and have stood the test of time.They have stood the test of time in a niche called "turnkey real estate" that has always carried a stigma.So I think that speaks volumes of their quality 👍Nobody is perfect and those that work hard, will eventually make a mistake.As long as the mistake is an "honest mistake".And being a turnkey provider myself for 10+ years now I can sure say that some investors can be a true pain in the A$$ and it feels like they look for drama/issues intentionally instead of smooth sailing lolWith that said, I suggest doing your online research and reaching out to the one that tickles your fancy the most.And then go from there.Wishing you much success.

My realtor did a comp search and says the home is worth about 730 with the comps in the area, I spoke to a bank in regards to Cash out refinance and I can pull out 80k (which I will use to buy another property) my mortage will be 3k per month...my only issue is that my interest rate is 3.75 on my current mortage and will be 4.6 on the refinance but will be getting rid of the fha loan.

In case you think that has slowed, the quarterly increase was $130 which is not quite as fast, but still way too fast.The issue is there are many reasons rents are increasing and raising rates does not help lower the rent increases. 

Someone I know owns section 8 properties, he doesn’t have any issues and the rent gets deposited directly to his account.

Now the land is not worth nearly as much as the collateral the bank issued their loan on.  

Not going to spend a lot of time defending the location I invest in, because I feel like the proof is in the numbers....my "issues" and "bad tenants" are very far and few between.

Maybe you could get some information when various states and utilities issue RFPs for new generation. 

All in all, far greater flexibility will come from a skill set related to these degrees as someone who sees themselves as a real estate investor as their primary source of employment.

If you want to experience landlord issues, you can fha a duplex or buy an sfh as an investment property & that $250k will easily be spent. 

It can hurt your sellers ability to buy another home because of DTI issues.4.
