If I'm making $15-20k a month or own 100 properties when I'm 89, that doesn't give me time to enjoy the fruits of my labor.I finally decided that in 12 years, by the time I turn 40, I want to be retired from property management and focused primarily on managing my properties and finding new deals.

Agreed, Thanks for the fruitful advice @Tyon Pascal

Do investors blame brokers/agents for going for the low hanging fruit??

I am not familiar with Phoenix but each area could have "public" MLS access which does not include all available information that is for agents only. 

Comparing the two insurance types in this thread's title is like comparing an apple and a watermelon - yes, they both are fruits, but if your recipe for apple pie calls for apples, you don't substitute watermelon. 

There's always deals out there for agents who are aggressive and smart enough to find it. 

I currently work for an import fruit company in Houston.  

Also you have to remember most HML need to have a lien position at close and title insurance you get none of those at the courthouse steps auctions.If you have no personal capital it pretty tough getting started.. trying to scout deals for those with capital is one way to go.. working with a top producing RE agent can be fruitful as well.

Yes, both are fruit.

Hope you the best of success in this fruitful market.
