Hey mate,Sorry to hear about your troubles.I've been offering "true" turnkey properties for 10+ years now and have many scars to prove it.There has been and still is a huge stigma surrounding the industry and rightly so.The very best rated in the industry sometimes get blasted on the forum.Like with any business that has stood the test of time, we have had our fair share of successes and failures.We have done very well for many investors and could have performed better for others.Many times, we are to blame and other times it was the investors fault IMO.One thing I have always claimed is that we don't steal, cheat or lie and my team and myself work very hard and always make decisions with investors best interest at heart.Personally, I believe that folks that work hard and do their best shouldn't be crucified for an honest mistake when it happens.But, I guess others aren't as reasonable when it comes to such situations and I don't judge them for it.I take the punch on the chin and still continue doing my best.Over the years, I have made millions and lost millions but only blame myself when I loose.Not others.Also, I've always preached to start slow and only use cash which has cost my business 90% in sales volume.I just don't believe that investors should use leverage when first starting to build their portfolio.Reverse engineer and base all real estate, business and even life decisions from a risk analysis worst case scenario standpoint.If you believe that you can absorb a worst case scenario outcome, then pursue the opportunity.Build a strong foundation with cash owned properties and gain experience first."

I have test run a number of these programs and this is the one I have purchased.

Test the well for gallons pumping and quality.Have them pump septic at close ( $300 ish cost but you need to know condition)Roof?

A Broker Associate means that they have passed the brokers class and test nothing more.

Of course its never tested because it is so rare for a lawsuit to happen that is not covered by insurance.

Once you have a shortlist, sign up for an account with each one and test them extensively to see how they function.

In general they are going to have an accent of some sort so just having them call to test for good numbers and then you making the actual cold calls is a good idea.

Just like how I manage my rentals, I call my property management style "Self-Service Management," where I do less, and just provide the tools and resources to my tenants so they can do things on their own.Well, I've actually tested out many "business" banks (Regions, BofI/Axos, Azlo, Novo, Bluevine, Kabbage, etc.) and eventually, I found the best, for me and my style.

Just ask the current owner what the story is, and see if it passes the smell test. 

The first test will be do they show to do the estimate....
