One is under contract in which I plan to 1031 into something larger and the other I just plan to keep as the contract expires soon.

Also, make sure that they have money in their accounts in case things don't go as planned.

Beg family and friends to fund it for you.They "might" do it if they see you've learned a lot and your business plan sounds very solid.How do I know this "might" work?

Are you planning to rent it out or live in it?

I’m exploring the idea of buying a vacation home near Yosemite, which I also plan to list on Airbnb.

I'd talk to your broker on what it'll sell for after the fact and where the market is heading over the time you plan to own it. 

Hi Nida,I'm a bit late to the party but better late than never I guess lolIn the search bar here on Bigger Pockets or even a Google research will reveal a lot of info about certain companies.I'd always like to joke around and say that "Google is your best friend" when looking to work with someone new lolI'd like to second Jason's comment who has been around the turnkey game for a long time and has probably conducted due diligence on many if not all turnkey providers over the years.Not many have stood the test of time and I'm proud to say that we have.Not intending to plug my company as we have many battle scars that started from day 1.But still here and still battling away 🤓Why we survived and thrived unlike many others was keeping our operation small and boutique and only doing deals on our terms.Low volume sales and thorough investor pre-qualification (As not everyone that has a pulse is necessarily a good fit for what we can provide).Some investors did better than others but one thing I can happily say is that we always did our best for all.I believe a very important component to any "true" turnkey company is that the penny ultimately drops must drop with them.Meaning, if you invest and things don't go the way as planned it is entirely up to them to rectify.No finger pointing or passing on the monkey to someone else (Like a realtor, contractor or PM).A true turnkey company stands behind it's properties, rehabs and in-house property management.Key phrase here is "in-house property management".Everything must be under the same roof and the provider must take all responsibility for the outcome of that investment.Wishing you much success

Present this plan and go from there.

You would need a premium plan. 

One place that will soon become a rental market heaven is an area around Johnstown/ New Albany where a huge Intel plant is under construction with plans for thousands of employees, not to mention the contractors there now.
