Turnkey Rental Properties 101 by Ali Boone is a step-by-step guide for busy professionals who want to invest in real estate without becoming full-time landlords. Boone explains what “turnkey” means, how providers operate, and what to expect when buying properties that are already renovated, rented, and managed. The book makes it clear that while turnkey offers convenience, it still requires due diligence and smart decision-making.
The strength of this book is its focus on simplicity and accessibility. Boone shows how investors can build passive income streams while keeping their day jobs, avoid the headaches of active property management, and scale wealth through repeatable systems. It’s a straightforward roadmap for using turnkey rentals as a foundation for long-term financial freedom.
