Hi Jaden,I'm not a fan of hybrid turnkey models like the companies you mention.Also, not a fan of many turnkey marketing companies.Granted, I'm bias but if anyone is interested in turnkey just go straight to the provider.Not many around these days anymore and the one's that are, have stood the test of time and are obviously solid.I think it's less riskier nowadays to invest in turnkey properties than before because all of the poor providers have disappeared and only the good one's are still around.Plus, seems like the "hands off" and so beloved syndications are going belly up so turnkey might be in fashion again.And no big deal IMO that turnkey is not completely "hands off".Is anything completely passive other than 30yr Treasury Bonds?

I have no experience with this at all.  

On my listing, the agent simply said that there is a buyer's agent commission of x% on full price offers with no unreasonable contingencies.

Is he talking about cost based on what the total cost of the property would be over time, or just what the total cost of the property would be to the REI over time? 

no one drives buyers around anymore.. thats a thing of the way long ago past. they will drive to the home to open it up for the buyer..

It often makes no sense to transfer title for one property and all it does is increase costs - keep it in your name

I'd be happy to help you with that and also run you through closing costs here in the city of Chicago as well.

Sooner or later, demand is going to significantly exceed supply In Calgary, and Calgary will be just as expensive as any other Canadian city.

Hey Carlo, there's no such thing as a stupid question, especially when starting out!

I said there was no reason to sell the property (as rent would easily pay the mortgages, taxes, and insurance).
