It allows me to learn and get paid for it.The designated broker for that firm is has become my mentor for both commercial real estate deals and investing.He is willing to take the time necessary to discuss things and allows me freedom and support for my dreams.It has been an interesting line to walk as both my boss and mentor as it has been fertilizer for my growth.I am very grateful for my mentor.That being said working at the firm has given me access to a WHOLE batch of mentors and guidance.For example today I presented a property to 7 brokers and my mentor at my firm durring a weekly meeting.It is a 4plex, where I would live in one and rent out the other 3 units (that is called "house hacking")They were able to eluminate several insights that I wouldn't have even begin to have asked about, eatch one giving me different view points.They gave me valuable questions that needed to be answered before I moved forward with the project.None of it would have been able to happen with out earning my bones with my mentor and firm.

My understanding is the turnkey companies do not leave any meat on the bones.

It would have been a clincher but unfortunately after inspection it was found to have rotten bones and sewage seeping between the units (yuck!)

The bones of the house are good, it was build in the late 60's.

Are you going to invest in some of the bones to be more high end (fixtures, bathroom, kitchen, flooring, etc.)?

@Rich Ng  Ma too cold for my bones haha  but thank you.

We stage bathrooms with fresh towels, bath mats, tissue containers, soap dispensers, shower curtains. 

In general, there isn't enough meat on the bone for you and the realtor, especially with listed property valuations.  

He could use purchase money note.If he did not cooperate, I would sue for Quiet Title and Partition Action.Better be enough meat on the bone to make the hassle worthwhile.

There is some room to improve rents also, so there is some meat left on the bone.
