We have several good names.

I know turnkey can get a bad reputation but there are several reputable providers there and if you hold them long term they can be good investments.I’ve done the DIY method and so far turnkey is better for me in my opinion anyways.

I work with several in the area who are taking down dozens of homes a year, and I always believe the best way to get into the depths of your local market is to attend investor meet ups.

Make sure you get several quotes, prices for these in my area can vary quite a bit. 

I sent "I will buy your apartment" letters several times and never got a response.

I also know several owners in the area and have asked around to see if I could share a super with them for one of their buildings (esp if trash pickup is same day).Any thoughts on which route to go/where to start?

@Jay HinrichsI think there are several reasons for the significant drop, but the two biggest in my opinion are related to financial theory and the current legislative landscape. 

This was determined to be not sufficient to carry out the demands levied against the service so the USMC numbers have been growing over the past few years and thought it appears to change yearly, the actual authorized manning numbers are approved and projected forward several years so any short term war/crisis will have to be handled with current manning and reserves.

I've found several cheap doors and windows (5-10 bucks) in our local Restore, but they're so hit and miss.

I have been out of real estate except for my personal home for several years.
