Jungle, Desert, Arctic. 

We walked through a boarded up home a few weeks back that we literally had to hack through webs/egg sacks like a jungle forest.

For example, I just made an offer on a property with a cumulative DOM > 1000 days; it has a jungle growing in the front and back; and it's just as jacked up inside as it is outside.

Quote from @Maximillian Lewis: Hi everyone,i'm very new in the world of real estate investing and very excited to finally start this journey.I'm studying and reading everything i need to know about the world - universe - of real estate, and just joined biggerpockets a few days ago.I have never invested nor bought a property before, but i have decided to turn my life around and i see a lot of positive thinkers and vibes on this website.I will be moving from Seattle to LA in a couple of months - 2 extremely expensive cities - and i'm giving myself at least 1 year before i start buying my first property - perhaps a multi family/house hacking.I'm looking to connect with a real estate agent in SoCal that can mentor me and guide me navigate this jungle as everything is very new to me.Thank you all in advance for your help! 

Welcome to the jungle.....good start on location potentially, as long as the numbers work.

A lot of folks just think it is desert and cactus, which are great, but there's so much more (Verde Valley, Prescott, Flagstaff, Payson, etc).Some great points in this thread by others.

Welcome to the jungle i guess right?

If you don’t, you will have a jungle 

Sit on the couch and get full of brownies and smoke a little more and listen to bad music like the Grateful Dead.They are not gonna suddenly join forces and riot through the wheeled jungle of mobile homes leaving death and destruction behind them.Now, it it is heroine, meth, even distribution of pot......get serious and get them out.Stoners that have a job and one misdemeanor......sign the lease right here please.And before assumptions are made I have not smoked weed in 30 years.

How real-estate investing is not just some cakewalk, it's a jungle.
