Here's a very basic explanation to get your juices flowing:Assume a house costs $200,000 and rents for $1,500.

It's a lot of work, but would probably be more fruitful than blasting out résumés on Jobbing or Monster.

Start out with the older neighborhoods in town...That's always the lowest hanging fruit. 

I was panicking thinking I wouldn’t live long enough to enjoy the fruits.    

At some number the "juice is worth the squeeze".Another thought is to reach out to a great property manager and pick their brain.Hope this helps.

Everyone knows a lot of the low hanging fruit is not so easy to find anymore, but I see on Redfin that people have closed deals that never showed up on the MLS. 

The low hanging fruit deals with light rehab and low margins are for the weak ;) Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

For the little guy trying to put together one deal at a time, the juice usually isn't worth the squeeze.I'm curious to see how this may differ in other markets though...Further reading:https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2014/11/1...https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/what-is-a...

IMO, the frugal would likely much prefer to grow their own fruits and vegetables, shop for raw quality ingredients, and invest a bit more time and money in their food in the short term to cook their own meals with quality ingredients in order to achieve the long term benefits of eating more healthy, while still saving money over going out to eat.

Or do they pick the low hanging fruit?
