It makes the business acquaintance at ease and brands you with the business.

@Bekkah VidalAppreciate this, im easing myself into partaking in real estate and this helps me out by knowing key terms i frequently keep seeing.

Being from nearby Chicago I was jealous of ease to evict there.  

I own a contracting company and trying to ease out over the next several years.

I agree 100%, comfort/ease is the enemy of growth...

They know what we look for in a rental and bring them to our attention, it's great.As far as the turnkey/network buying:PROS for BUILDER:  (1) Source of qualified buyers, often 1031 exchange buyers  (2) Builder knows what RE investors and renters want, builds to that standard -- floorplans, amenities -- no change orders to deal with  (3) Investors don't have the contingency to sale current home (4) Save on marketing time and costs, no open houses, flat referral fee to network, no agent/broker fees (5) I would think investors are easier to work with, less drama (that's speculation, lol)PROS for BUYER:  (1) Builder already vetted, although you're foolish not to do your own legwork  (2) Buyer's network has some clout, the builder doesn't want to mess up that relationship so more responsive (3) Usually other investors you can network within that market to vet the area, builder, the management company (4) Ease of transactionIn JAX/Ocala we've found  RWN affiliate quality is outstanding, good workmanship, desirable floorplans, quality granite, stainless. 

This is a way to ease the seller's fear of being nickel and dimed on repairs.

We were hoping to provide a means for BiggerPockets members in the area to link up in person with ease, build their contacts, learn from each other and ideally, do business together.  

Ease of purchase.

That said, if I had time to grow slower, I would have 100% taken advantage of the conventional loans.Great point about ease of process, thanks CJ.
