Direct answer

Turnkey for time-poor income investors; value-add for capital-efficient wealth builders.

Expanded explanation

Turnkey is operational simplicity at a yield discount. Value-add demands operational depth but compounds equity faster.

Examples

  • Turnkey 5% CoC vs value-add forcing 25% equity gain in year 1.
