I hope your real estate endeavours are fruitful!

Your verbage jumps back and forth...otherwise, I'd suggest a se401k (if it can be applied) or similiar to really get the contributions going to ~$70k annually.If you really want to "juice" the returns, try other asset classes, perhaps...Good luck.

also consider the added mess from fruit trees, as well as the things they attract, for example in WI fruit not picked that starts to break down or drops and left to lay attract yellow jackets and other stinging bugs as well as the hazard of falling fruit, and staining concrete depending where they are. 

You can aim for a condo further away from Boston pencils close to $500k and it would be more fruitful.

I hope your real estate endeavors are fruitful!

It's already tough enough over there, then throw in section 8....Sometimes the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

There is always a way to find the "low hanging fruit" you just need to know where to look and work with the right people!

An example I am aspiring to is a social media "persona" developed by Matt Piche (aka Fruitful Invesor) from Waterloo who had build quite a business partering up with people.

That will probably take more cash to get in now, but may provide more fruit later.

Personally, I decided to keep my W2 while expanding my real estate portfolio for the above reasons and it has been very fruitful.
