The lowest hanging fruit the insurance coverage because the insurer is most likely to pay out. 

'"you show me a bad tenant - i'll show you a bad landlord"the fruit -  don't fall far from the treeI wish you the best!!!

I found areas like Clermont Florida for example with great Class B SFH areas given the moderate commute to parks and some of the biggest orange producers in the state.

All the brokers say the low hanging fruit is gone.  

He rose through the ranks and ended up being the President of this company and took it to unimaginable levels and one of the best visionaries in the Country.His MO was to purchase big multi thousand acre ranches and design Master Planned communities i.e Rancho California (now the City of Temecula), my home town of La Mirada, The Hollister Ranch a coastal development north of Santa Barbara and Coto de Caza an upscale private community hidden in the hills of Orange County just to name a few.Point of all this braggadocio is that had it not been for the fact that he was also a civil engineer he would have never developed the creative flair that made he and his company such a huge success. 

My only real exposure to real estate is a few books that I've read on the topic and I was actually referred to these forums by reading one of Brandon Turner's books and this looks like a great place to begin my real estate education :)I'm just your average guy that is fed up with a 9-5 job and looking to become financially free in my future, but even more than that to get rid of the boss and free up my time to do the things I enjoy most, so I guess you can say I am highly motivated to look into this new venture.My present time goals are to educate myself about the real estate world while connecting with those who are where I want to be and hopefully finding someone who can mentor me in this area.And my next goal after that would be to acquire a multi-family home here in Orange County that would allow us to live rent-free or cheap in the same home.Thanks for stopping by.

I just recently ran accross a fellow I used to work around that has a great reputation and works Orange beach area quite regularly.
