For example, for a new roof on a recent flip we completed earlier this year, we were quoted $35,000 by one outfit and got the work done for $16,000.        

It is NOT  a red flag that a vendor will only work with cash buyers that is just things that are promulgated by other turn key outfits.

I’ve heard good things about Zach Lemaster at Rent to Retirement, but curious if you have any additional outfits I should look into.

this wont work on pretty much all levels  too much cash ripped out up front  relying on refinances that may or may not come .. appreciation which is not a guarantee  plus other than Chris here show me any other TK type out fit that has been in business for 15 years.. that's a LOOOONG time in this industry.. 

Sometimes I would like a partner on the same page who would tell me to remember our goals and that fancy outfit/purse/whatever isnt one of the goals.I would highly recommend pre-marriage counseling to see if you can come to some agreements.

I mean I have not seen one turnkey out fit set up in Denver or San Jose or LA.. and market investment properties to someone living in Ohio ?  

Small outfit like that I recommend keeping costs & overhead low.

@Ron James maybe not an answer to the question you asked, but A few years back, I liked the idea that the turnkey outfits were pitching.

I communicate directly with head of the outfit which is nice.

Clayton there is a Paul Simon song   50 ways to lose your lover.. well in rehabbing houses there is 50 ways to lose your money.Even though you may get some savings on materials with a builder account like we do.. the real savings is in labor and doing the job right the first time and time efficiency.. if your rehabbing lets say 20 to 30 homes simultaneously  IE pretty standard production line for a above average turn key outfit.. the homes are in various stages of course..
