Episode 2: Turnkey vs BRRR vs Retail: Choosing the Right Strategy for You

Описание: Turnkey vs BRRR vs retail rentals… which real estate investing strategy actually makes the most sense for your goals?

There are multiple ways to invest in rental real estate, but not every strategy fits every investor. Choosing the wrong one can cost you time, capital, and unnecessary stress.

In this episode, John Blackburn and Nate Hall break down the real differences between turnkey rental properties, the BRRR strategy, and buying retail rental properties off the MLS. They walk through the core tradeoffs between time and money, active versus passive investing, and the risk variables investors often overlook. Rather than pushing one strategy as “best,” they explain how alignment with your goals, available capital, risk tolerance, and long-term vision should drive the decision.

Turnkey investing isn’t built for chasing short-term, high-risk returns. It’s designed for investors who value predictable cash flow, professionally managed assets, and long-term portfolio growth.

If you’re on the fence between building your own deals or buying fully managed rental properties, this episode gives you the framework to decide confidently.
