I never heard the term turn key  in relation to Real estate investing untill about three days ago here on bigger pockets  I've actually been toying with the idea of doing turnkey for people seeing as how I started managing my own properties many years ago and have done so in New York State North Carolina and Florida  I'm still easily able to find deals that are Easley double-digit returns in upstate New York in Central Florida  I'm still a little bit in disbelief that I'm actually able to find deals this good  i'm still a little bit in disbelief that I'm actually able to find deals this good and so many others seem not to be something else innocent it just doesn't seem right to me for some reason I've never even gotten a mortgage on the house the one I lived in many years ago      I guess I've been very fortunate to be able to pay cash for everything Perhaps that  why my returns are so high I basically find the property fix it up and then sell it owner finance holding the mortgage or rent them for the incomePerhaps it's like the guy who lifts weights in his house and after 20 years he goes to the gym and he starts punching 500 pounds and everybody around them is in the shop in disbelief they ask him how he did it and he says well I just never thought that I couldn't do it

Your slab is subject to bending stress from self-weight, dead load, and live load and the tensile stress is resisted by the rebar.

If you are going to focus on low income flips, concentrate more on the more desirable sections instead of the war zones.  

Kids may be a few years away too, but we want to set up a strong foundation before we get "caught up in life".I am happy to be part of this community because when I first started my business I didn't have any mentors, just a tireless work ethic and a huge desire to NOT fail (and prove to my Filipino parents I wasn't crazy leaving my stable day job).

I'm not suggesting you should break the law, but you should weight the spirit of the law vs its application.

A good inspector is worth their weight in gold.

@Peter Kush In my experience you're not going to find a lot of fourplexes in desirable areas in Dallas either.

Augustine has a lot of different neighborhoods...beautiful beaches...Intracostal...high dollar golf communities...quaint historic area...older neighborhoods with concrete block homes with big lots being being brought back to mid century style...less desirable neighborhoods that may never be...you need to decide what niche you want to concentrate on...I think you tell which I like....but a lot of buyers and investors have discovered our beautiful slice of paradise and potential deals are difficult to come by...

Once you get a comfortable number under new leases, then take the next batch of tenants, who are less desirable, and be more aggressive about rent increases, and so on so forth.  

I'm here to learn more about the best way to acquire profitable properties but I'm very debt adverse, how to learn more about my desired market and managing properties (or hiring that out).
