Ray Alcorn has a book , dealmaker guid to MHPS that can be beneficial. 

If closed, he can give me back the EMD; if not, the chance I am getting my EMD will be very slim.Looking back the contract, there is clause said:"If the Contract is accepted and signed by all parties and the sale does not close, however, a separate mutual release signed by all parties to this Contract will be required before the Earnest Money will be disbursed".I have not signed anything besides the contract. 

@Chris McClain, Hello, I have no idea why people think that they can Invest in Rentals and have any expectation of making Money as if they were buying a Mutual Fund.

ThanksBasically, the terms "Turnkey" and "BRRRR" are mutually excluding.

Since this is our first year investing in real estate, we were thinking it might be beneficial to get a professional this time around.

If so, is it more beneficial for the other market to be of a similar type (low cost, cash flowing) just in a different region, or one that offers a different type of potential (like more dynamic appreciation)?

After that, you are contractually limited to working with them unless you mutually agree to break the contract and then you can move on to another agent.Good luck!

Hey Mrs.Fitzgerald,My name is Nitin Adoni, I am a financial advisor with Northwestern Mutual.

The owner requested to rent the house for 2 weeks and we had a mutual understanding on the terms and sign a lease agreement.

If so, is it more beneficial for the other market to be of a similar type (low cost, cash flowing) just in a different region, or one that offers a different type of potential (like more dynamic appreciation)?
