Manpreet Jagur I’ve used turnkey properties (formerly Memphis turnkey) and have zero complaints so far.Make sure you understand the difference between a provider and a turnkey promoter.

I found the following local Phoenix, Arizona based company called Time Token on Start Engine promoting investment in their cryptocurrency based vacation rental platform. 

The other day I loaned money to a BP borrower buying an investment property, and a couple days later, I sold that mortgage note to another participant looking to hold mortgages and make a great ROI.I've been a part of other forums like BP that never really amounted to working with people on deals and wanted to publicly promote BiggerPockets for their unique and successful online forum!

It was a promotional seminar and I had registered for the real workshop coming up in Oct 23, 24, 25 plus got a free tablet with all kinds of useful real estate resources and tools pre-loaded into it.  

I read your intro with interest, because I am also based in Portland, also in the Tech industry, and have roughly the same goals... just a little further in my career.With the kind of background you have, the best route to your goal is probably to work very hard, get promotions, be frugal and squirrel away as much cash as you can, and use your likely good credit to leverage yourself into properties that will throw off some serious cash in 5-10 years.  

I am not currently nor have I ever been paid to promote this company.  

Has anyone gone to the festivals and parades and handed out flyers and cards to promote your business. 

While I promote wholesaling as a way to get started, I also - like a lot of BP'ers - think you need to be responsible in making offers to sellers; you need to KNOW that you can fund a deal via your buyers or you can really jerk around a homeowner who thinks they found a solution to their problem.  

Also, his broker could be responsible as well if he promoted the practice of real estate property management by this guy on "his own."

Excellent at self-promotion.
