Low hanging fruit is posting on Craigslist as well as answering ads on it.

Some of them are not running after deals anymore but enjoying the fruits of their labor as they should and as many of us hope to do someday.

this may not be the deal for them.)4) For low hanging fruit, (easier success rate) 99% of all private lenders fall into 3 categories, business owners, professional licenses holders, (like doctors, lawyers, etc..) real estate professionals.All three have something in common, they think differently than your average wage earner.  

its a challenging asset class but done in great volume and one that you stay right on top of IE live in the market.. it can be fruitful.. one of my Vendors has over 200 of them..

We're raw vegans moving from one single family detach in residential zone of LA county to another of the same, non HOA.Broker asked for some of the orn plants & fruit trees we had already dug up and been moving during awaiting closing date on sold one.We gave her some of the ornamental ones and whatever we had excess but she kept asking for more!

But what I'm not sure of is to put a lot of eggs in one basket.

@Terry Cobbs  use the equity to fund fix and flips.. although not sure you have enough to do much... also you could get schooled on buying NPN  those you can find very cheap all over the US.. but they are WORK to get them to bear fruit. but it sounds like you have plenty of time to devote to a new project.Tax liens in your state ( I think its a tax lien state) could be an option as well.

Their business plan is to but $20,000 houses in reasonable shape, no basket cases, and rent for at least $500. 

I love fresh flowers, wine with glasses, and a bowl of fruit.
