If I had to choose, I'd also pick Miami because the quality of life is much better here. 

It allows for high cash flow, the OSI doesn't need to do any rehab or tenant placement, and the seller stays on as the managing Member in the LLC, so they have a vested interest in the quality of the investment.

I spoke to an out of state turnkey investor yesterday who specifically recommended to avoid that zip code based on tenant quality, crime, etc.

I just know once I see an ad I like to see good quality pictures and an estimate of what the house would rent for and estimated arv. 

5000 quality posts, my friend.  

@Rob HalpertThe ARV is based on finding comps for homes that are in the expected final condition, or similar to the quality of the final rehab product.

but if you are going to sell it, you should match the quality of the neighborhood you are in.

In your experience, would quality renters mind having to go all the way downstairs/off the kitchen or the basement to use the bathroom? 

Even if it just allows me to pursue a career I find more enjoyable at the sacrifice of a corporate salary, it'll be a huge win for my long-term quality-of-life. 

I know a lot of people prefer to manage their own properties because nobody takes care of your properties the way that you do, however I know one person can only do so much as one scales up.While I'm sure there are plenty of quality PM companies out there, most of the experiences I have heard have been rather negative such as fees incentivizing turnover and repairs being "band aid fixes" to a bigger problem.
