The key is purchase price and your contractor (pay super close attention to his labor costs).

Another thing, is there anyone from BP who are currently managing turn key properties in that area?

I signed the lease and gave the deposit but I wasn't given the keys.

@Chris Clothier   in my day of doing these it was not about the publics perception of the provider IE they are weak or strong.It was how they were sold the deal by the West coast marketers.. and in those days as you know the value proposition and the sales pitch was   CASH BACK AT CLOSING.not only did people get into these deals with only 1k out of pocket in the beginning ( because we allowed it and made the loan to put them into title) but they would get 4 to 8k cashout refi proceeds. this is what drove the model... frankly had nothing to do with the vendor or turn key company.. it was all about West coast marketing pitch.Remember these folks came to turn key from Weekend radio shows I LA.. way before BP or internet marketing.

Time management and building a solid team are key elements to success. 

Will I obtain a key?
