@Clayton Mobley thank you for the insight and the thorough explanation! Very helpful information and from a great perspective.

@Account Closed Congrats on the new purchase and thanks for the perspective! I will definitely follow up on the post-purchase experience.

I am in the process of finding my first rental property to buy and hold while gaining a bit of extra cash flow.

My question: Is it better to start out with TurnKey investment properties? I know it will typically involve less work to the property but I’m not sure the return is as great.. curious if anyone has gone down the turnkey route and had success buying from a company that focusses on selling turnkey investment properties?

@Nick Sheveland That makes sense and is pretty solid advice, appreciate your perspective. Good luck on your purchase as well!

@Nick Sheveland Thank you! I appreciate the help! One last question, is a bank or a mortgage lender typically better for purchasing an investment property? I already own a home, which I live in and purchased through a mortgage lender. Perhaps just shopping around may be the answer but was curious if there was a trend you noticed?

@Philip Williams Thank you for the response. I totally understand that perspective and definitely raises some valid points. Thank you for the insight!

@Jason G. will do, thanks!

Getting close to buying my first rental property. Is it best to purchase through my LLC or just through my own name?
