Believe me, I know about the online gurus, I've been trying to avoid what they market wholesaling to be, that's actually why I came to ask on BP to begin with was to get realistic perspectives, even though it is a grind, I think it is a grind I am willing to make.

I can provide you some guidance.

Here are some quick notes that I can provide from the lender/broker perspective.

I require my tenants to provide a 30-day notice regardless if they are terminating during or after the initial lease term.  

We also looked into Ron LeGrand's course for creative finance, the price was nice however, it seemed a little outdated (now we may be wrong).In an ideal situation, we would like to spend $5k or less on the course, online, with the chat-bots or a call-in line for questions with an extended expiration date to ensure my business partners and I have enough time to thoroughly study and take the course and also have the opportunity to re-visit if we have more questions later on. 

Many reputable general contractors have experience with city/township inspections and final inspections before you can sell your home; they can provide value based on experience with trades inspectors and providing more accurate estimates for project costs based on current market value of work per trade. 

The companies you mention have been around for a while and have stood the test of time.They have stood the test of time in a niche called "turnkey real estate" that has always carried a stigma.So I think that speaks volumes of their quality 👍Nobody is perfect and those that work hard, will eventually make a mistake.As long as the mistake is an "honest mistake".And being a turnkey provider myself for 10+ years now I can sure say that some investors can be a true pain in the A$$ and it feels like they look for drama/issues intentionally instead of smooth sailing lolWith that said, I suggest doing your online research and reaching out to the one that tickles your fancy the most.And then go from there.Wishing you much success.

Thanks to Covid very many of top counties do this online now.

The place is not housing provider friendly.

@Matt Roth for mailers there are various list providers that provide different filtering options, absentee owner, by county, state, type/size/class of building etc.
