Karen Rick doesn't really have a ranch, he has an orchard, best money trees in the county, and he asks that you don't pick the fruit when passing by.

As far as the Richmond vacant property list it does has some value but I don't think it is the lowest hanging fruit in today's market.

Here is what I am thinking…I would like to focus my energy in the industry on rental properties: duplex, triplex, quads (Apartment buildings seem too problematic also its like putting all my eggs in one basket and single family homes seem difficult to produce monthly positive cash flow with higher potential for long term vacancy).

But for starters, dont put all your eggs in one investment basket :).Best of Luck!

Me and my wife are literally eating only rice, beans, frozen fruit from Costco, apples and bananas and saving every single penny we can to be ready.I am very motivated and I hope to meet real people do want I want to achieve and I can help them out while learning.

We all know the saying "dont put all your eggs in one basket".

I would definitely not put all your capital in one basket like a rental right now.Learn and earn, and you'll be in this game for the long run.Let me know if I can do anything for youDennis

If I understand you correctly, it sounds like it will be most fruitful to ask for a letter from the commanding officer?

If we want to grow up and become a functioning metro instead of Seattle's little sister, are we blindly chasing the low lying fruit that comes from the population boom and not thinking long term?

Glad to be a part of the BP community and eager to learn, grow, and form fruitful professional and personal relationships!
