@Jenni Utz I going to go that route.

If you can use that capital to buy a multi family and net more on appreciation and cash flow, that will probably be the more favorable route.

@Trevor MaternWelcome to the forums....If you're going to STR route, make sure you are in an STR friendly area.

There are a lot of questions that you would need to both ask and answer to determine the best route.

If you go this route it is important to realize that there is no common definition of turnkey.

Really wanting to get started, but not sure the best route...

if i remember right every $1k down is only like $16 a month off. so i feel like keeping the cash in the bank would be the smarter choice. however i dont want to over leverage and be stuck with a hefty payment if rent decides to drop in the area. im just trying to find my best routes from people who can teach me a bit. 

Partnering with agents to have them give your name when clients ask for help setting up and managing their property may be a successful route. 

Thanks Ladies,I actually determined that I dislike the terms of the loan and almost have credit and money in order to go the conventional route.
