I would say there is no more low hanging fruit on the tree REI tree anymore.

When a Farmer grows and prunes a Fruit tree, if that Tree could speak it would cry out because of all the twisting and pulling and snipping.

The information that you included is great and should lead to a fruitful discussion with the experts.

awesome I look forward to hearing more, I'm interested in the conversion rates of the different marketing modes and especially what kind of fruits an initial mailing can yield. 

So for them to move up now they'd be paying $100k more for the same home and at least a percent higher on their interest rate... so they ain't moving. 3) And Boomers aren't moving either... many of them bought a long time ago, and so they seek to keep their low property taxes to make their Golden Years a little more fruitful.

But, can you also look at paying all cash as putting all of your eggs in one basket?

Is it better to buy many separate fourplexes or put all my eggs in one basket and buy a larger apartment complex?

Thus, there is no diversification – all your eggs are in that one basket.

It is always risky to put all your eggs in the same basket.

The "low fruit" is gone, but the area still has some good deals especially when compared to most parts of CA.
