big forum, reddit, irc, twitter user here.. so aware of the powerful information on discussion sites.My first post was over in starting out.. as I'm excited to learn what others have been doing and hopefully crack the code on owning my own house in DC where the real estate market is bananas.Background: I work in technology security and doing well as the DC Area economy is great.

In the case of turnkey, you're capitalizing on economies of scale that allow us to rehab for less per property (because we buy things in bulk, have good connections) keeping costs down.
