Wondering if we should learn the bumps in the road now and try to self manage with some recommended tools or to put our property in the hands of a Vacasa/Evolve/Awning type company or maybe a professional local outfit?

How do you typically balance cost versus quality when outfitting a property?

With supply and demand 101, we know that is not good, especially with the Saudis not lowering their oil production.From what I've read, I expect a lot of the outfits that are fracking in Canada and the Northern states to probably file bankruptcy and be sold out, or do tremendous amounts of volume to stay afloat, worsening conditions.

I enter into a long-term lease on a commercial space, subdivide and outfit the space to accommodate a specific use, and generate positive cash flow once certain occupancy rates are achieved.I like the salon model but there are already so many in my area.

Just a heads up for a free rent source you could compare a 2bd/1ba unit being offered by a nearby apartment complex, zillows rent estimate is not too bad, and if you were looking at building a real estate team I would call a couple of property management outfits to see what they are getting for a like property. 

Although to be fair this mastermind also had some very good people some of the top turnkey outfits some of those just ascending up the ladder as it were.

That being said, if you're looking at or considering adding a buy-and-hold turnkey investment to your portfolio, or just want to learn more about the model, I'm the CEO of a full service turnkey outfit down in Birmingham and I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about the niche or our market.However you decide to invest, welcome to the community! 

I personally wont give a wholesaler a non refundable deposit.. if the deal cant close for some reason they will normally ghost you.. this is probably new western or one of those outfits.. who rely on FOMO high pressure to get the deposits up front and released like that.

One, the mom and pop investor will waive their white flag and sell to a larger outfit. 

Find someone local that's savvy, not a national outfit.
