Passive Investment for Your Retirement: Turnkey Real Estate 101

Sat, Oct 14, 2017

turnkeyrealestateinvestment-savingforretirement.jpgMore and more, we’re growing increasingly uncertain about the future. We don’t live in a world where people stay in the same careers for 30, 40 years.

We don’t live in the same cities. Change is a part of life, and there’s a certain level of excitement—and anxiety—that comes about with that.

The younger generation—and not so young, as older millennials are well into their 30’s—are struggling to find where their financial security rests.

Stable retirement plans aren’t certain when lifelong careers are no guarantee, and savings aren’t what they used to be, either.

Where does it all come from when it feels like there no room left for the luxury of retirement?

Boy, do we have good news for you.

Real estate investment is the key to building up a strong financial future. Not just for your retirement. Not just for your now. But even for the next generation!

But wait, you might say—isn’t investing in real estate a lot of work? Like, a lot a lot of work? Surprise, it really doesn’t have to be. You might be used to seeing flippers on HGTV or hearing horror stories about landlords suffering through 3AM calls from terrible tenants, but that’s not the reality for passive real estate investors.

You can choose to make money in real estate without the heavy lifting.

Is Turnkey Real Estate Investment Too Good to Be True?

How It Works (In General):

Turnkey real estate investment lets you “turn the key” and purchase rental properties that are ready to generate positive cash flow. You don’t have to worry with renovating a terrible property or dealing with a thousand logistics that might make your property a dud. The turnkey investment company you choose to work with has already done their research—they’ve vetted the neighborhood, investigated the area, ran the numbers, and made sure that your property is poised to be prime for generating rental income.

Some companies renovate before you buy, others let you customize what renovations you want, and handle the process for you. Others already have a tenant when you step in, so you start earning income right away!

From there, the turnkey investment company either has in-house or outsourced property management who handles all of the daily ins-and-outs of managing your investment properties. They’ll give you regular updates and reports—and your paycheck!
