I still work with a ton of investors though and there are great options, especially turnkey ones!

You have options!

Most people suggest finding an independent agent who can shop multiple carriers as the best option and that is a good idea also but know that some Indy agent's don't want investor business so I'll say it simply Indy's are great but not all Indy's want your business. 

I should have a couple of options by the end of this week.

I am using my newfound access to the MLS as a tool to source good deals and make educated and sound investment decisions.

An Option to purchase.
