Kate Luna Turnkey Investment - Good? Bad? Ugly?
2 January 2026 | 7 replies
Especially in today's market.5-10 years ago, prices were so low that Turnkey companies could make a decent profit AND provide owners with a decent rate of return.Now, prices are up, it's MUCH harder for Turnkey companies to find deals and so their margins are getting squeezed - leading to more and more questionable Turnkeys and corners being cut.You should verify:1) The Class of the Neighborhood2) The Class of the Property3) The Class of the Tenant pool4) What was specifically rehabbed5) How good is the quality of the work6) What was NOT rehabbed7) How well was the tenant screened8) How well has the tenant actually been performingIt's often in the best interest of the Turneky company to be vague or even hide all of the above - to get the highest sales price possible:(So, have everything above verified by an independent 3rd party, NOT someone recommended by the Turnkey company or anyone connected to them (agents, etc.).It's often better for YOU to find a rehab, have it rehabbed and then place your own tenant - or YOU to screen & hire those you outsource to.BTW this is all regarding LTRs.MTR's & STR's Turnkeys are even MORE suspect!!!
