I don't expect it to come easy or be easy but I do hope for the best and expect the worst.

These properties are not in the best part of town, in fact, they may actually be in some of the worst parts of town.My wife and I are very interested in getting into the buy and hold realm, but really have no idea where to start and don't want to get burned.

I’m curious as to know what kind of crazy stuff tenets have done.

Worst place to be is stuck in the middle.

I am in the process of learning about turnkey properties. I have a full time job, so this seems to be the best fit for me for the time being. I was wondering if anyone could share their positive, or negative experie...

@Danny YeTake it from me, the worst thing you can do in this game is worry about anything other than the next step in front of you.

For long term success, the opposite is better: get the worst house in the best neighborhood

So when the water heater goes out a 1, you can pay for that from that months cash flow (or worst case, from the emergency fund) and not have any issues making your mortgage payments.

Great question - The first cleaning company that came to quote the property told me it was the worst they had ever seen and after talking with the office manager, said the job would be out of their scope of work.

Lease options are like REI's version of "A Tale of Two Cities"..."...it was the best of times, it was the worst of times", it was a complex strategy, it was an easy strategy, and because of that it would be hard to go into too many details here.
