Less hassle overall, and no issues so far *knock on wood*.Since I will be outfitting all 3 units at once and costs are high, I'm considering buying some appliances used. 

But that feels like nothing once you've done the hard stuff of furnishing it nicely and outfitting the kitchen!  

It sounds too good ....If a turnkey outfit buys a distressed property at a discount, puts money into it, rents it, and manages the property, exactly how and why are they going to sell it to me at a price that allows me to make a profit?

 Depending on your needs, an outfit like Bang It construction may be a contact to have.

Without permits a Yurt can be built and outfitted for $40,000 (or less if you do the work yourself!) 

Since I’d end up paying retail for the rehab myself because that’s not where my skillset is, my logic is my time is better spent elsewhere and the economies of scale I gain by using a large TK outfit essentially equate the the delta between any “deal” I may get on my own and the amount I’d end up spending as a small “mom-and-pop” investor to a contractor/crew.  

Some were wholesalers that we've been in contact with before they started using Investor Lift, some are outfits that we found through browsing the available properties on the platform.I've thought about joining as well as we'll wholesale deals that don't meet our investment criteria from time to time... as an agent though I lean towards buying personally, assigning directly to a client, or listing more frequently than wholesaling, so I'm just not doing enough wholesaling volume to justify the $479/mo price tag.

I am the pop of a mom and pop landlording outfit with multiple holdings in single-family-rental properties in this class in a similar city. 

I worked for one of the bigger turn key outfits( co owned) Charlotte is like most markets there are good and bad areas.

There are still some truly high quality TK outfits around -Spartan (of course), Memphis Invest, Decas etc - but unfortunately investors do need to take ownership of their due diligence to avoid these kind of scams that are all glossy marketing and no substance.
