Turnkey Investments

The term turnkey refers to something that is ready for immediate use and describes the sale of goods or services as well as the sale of properties that are finished and ready to move in to.  Thus the only thing an owner of a “turnkey property” needs to do is to simply put the key in and turn it. 

The term is also used in investment real estate for the sale of already established businesses.  In this type of sale, it typically includes all of the necessary equipment along with the experienced employees to continue to run the business.  Turnkey properties will vary from the level of involvement required from the new owners and many real estate turnkey investments need little or no maintenance other than to collect the monthly check.

Over the last several years turnkey properties have become increasingly more popular with investors and offer a unique opportunity for both the seller and buyer.  In many situations, an auction or liquidation sale is not in the best interest of the owner and doesn’t make sense from a financial perspective to liquidate a business that still has value. 

An example of an excellent turnkey investment opportunity is the marketing for sale of an existing facility which is not only running smoothly but is also doing well financially.  It may be the business just needs an influx of new capital and/or a managerial direction.  Nonetheless the business will generally realize a higher value if sold as a turnkey.
