Turnkey investing is a loosely defined investment strategy in which the investor buys, rehabs, and has a property managed through a third party, usually from a long distance away. All you need to do is "turn the key". There are hundreds of turnkey providers in America (and across the world), and no two companies are exactly alike. Some will buy, rehab, rent and then sell a property to you. Others will simply help you find the property and let you do most of the heavy lifting on the rehab side, then manage the property for you. Many people who live on the East or West Coast of the United States, as well as many who live outside the country, rely on turnkey companies (usually in the Midwest, where cash flow tends to be higher) to invest in great markets. [2015] - Brandon Turner

The Golden Rule: Always Make Money on the Buy. Finding undervalued properties gives investors more tactical options to choose from to further their profits and achieve their goals. Motivated Vendors: If a vendor is getting transferred due to employment, they may be motivated to sell at a reduced rate. A vendor who is downsizing may take a reduced rate if he or she believes the buyer will take care of the property. Distress Sales: Couples who want to quickly divest themselves of shared property as a result of marital discord may sell for a lower-than-average price. Estate Sales: Sometimes family beneficiaries are inclined to make a quick sale, in lieu of holding out for fair market value, so they can realize their share of the cash faster. [2011] - Don R.

Flaxseeds can be used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Men given the equivalent of around 3 tablespoons of flaxseeds daily experienced relief comparable to that achieved with commonly prescribed drugs such as Flomax or Proscar——but without their side effects. Pumpkin seeds also work. Significant improvements in BPH symptoms, quality of life, and all urination parameters studied were noted for about tree-quarters of a teaspoon a day of powdered cranberries. [2023] - Michael Greger

Local boards of Realtors maintain statistics on selling prices as a percentage of listing prices. This difference may range anywhere from 2 to 20 percent. [2004] - Mike Summey

We don’t determine the entry price, stop price, or initial capital exposure. The market does so by the range of bars it is making. We don’t control the potential risk of the setup. We do control whether to accept the risk or not, and we do control the position size. [2009] - Robert C. Miner
