.#2: I'm Glad I Avoided Turnkey Companies At First (But I May Consider Turnkey Later)Prior to purchasing my first home, I spoke with a variety of turnkey companies and read more than a few pro/con threads (including one I started). 

I've gone through a variety of payment methods over the years and have finally settled on an online rental management platform which the tenant pays through.1.

They offer many typical seminars for education, on a variety of topics.  

I'm sure folks will reach out to you from a variety of areas but to me, just start connecting and puting the pieces and partners together.  

If the tenant has any issues then we could have a variety of items...but usually I just go and check for leaks, put a little grease on the garage door rollers, check the air filters, etc. 

I'll disagree with anyone claiming that prepayment indicates poor money management skills because there can be a variety of alternative reasons to pay off all at once.

There are also a variety of plan formats with different costs and benefits depending on what you intend to invest in, such as having a 3rd party custodian be your processor or creating checkbook control. 

There are 6 events a months on a huge variety of topics. 

But you'll find a variety of every type of investor on the site, and everyone is amazingly helpful.

I made up my own mind based on the few bits of info that can be considered "facts" and conjecture from a variety of sources that passed my "This makes logical sense as a theory" filter.I don't think, by and large, the hard numbers are being outright made up.
