Education and experience is key as suggested by the posts.  

@Ali Boone I am leaning more and more towards a turn key property and I am finding some good people here on BP to help me out with that.  

The more different scenerios there are the better tweeking the structured deal into profits Your experience is so key bc it not only allows me to move forward but in order for me to succeed i need to learn from someone who has already succeeded.

The key is to spec out exactly what you want.

This property  was pretty much a turn key buy, as it is a fairly new building and nothing is wrong with anything in it.  

While we take great care of our home, I have found the key is for the other side to have skin in the game too.

I am installing keyless entry for convenience--no one will lock their key inside and have to call me for assistance.

I would offer them something called "Cash for Keys".Usually, I would offer them $500 to $1000  to peacefully turn the property over to me upon closing.

I wasn't sure what to expect upon arrival but one of my key objectives is learning more about the South Florida market and networking.

Welcome, make sure to set up key word alerts for things like JV or lending or flipping.
