While the people spearheading the turnkey provider companies seem to have good reviews (through BP at least), there are a couple of things that concern me.Basically, I have heard from at least one provider that they are essentially "guaranteeing" some equity within the properties upon purchase.

Someone from Memphis Invest made sure I was getting routine updates about the property, checking that I had my mortgage paperwork moving along, and confirming that I had inspections done.  

My 10% vacancy rate is essentially covering that ~1 month a year that I might need to find my next tenant, as I think it is unrealistic to assume I'll always find my next tenant prior to the existing lease ending.Spokane rental atmosphereAnd as for the utilities, I based those on the actual rates that the Spokane utilities company would charge.

I pay my mortgage down (instead of increasing it with a re-fi) while essentially having a Credit Card with a 5-8% interest only rate instead of 18%. 

They will be able to put me in touch with other buyers, however.Do I give the cash buyer a heads up on the deal before paperwork is signed so I know that I’m covered?

In fact, if you can get your paperwork all set up and ready to "hit send" then do it too.

In response to this, our eviction attorney sent them "Discovery" paperwork to respond with all the details and proofs of the habitability issues they are claiming.

You would then just need to train someone to negotiate over the phone with a scipt and how to shuffle paperwork.
