You should experience very little maintenance for the first 3 years on this home, which is an important aspect to Turnkey b/c the first few years should be about banking your cash flow, afterall, you are paying close to retail and with that should come less maintenance cost and hopefully less tenant cost, but the tenant part is for the most part, is a wild card as even the most qualified tenant can lose their job, get divorced, married, transfer, etc.So long as the home has what I have laid out in the post, I would go for it.
