The point is, you have to dig in and find the deals that work, and the niche you are comfortable with There's not a lot of low hanging fruit.

I have assigned a few, but have found the fruit too high on the tree to move on another long-term rental.  

No small feat at times but it can indeed be fruitful.  

I had been reluctant to put all my eggs in one basket, but the returns were just so much higher doing the flips that I just couldn't watch my capital languish like that anymore.

Once a broker, commission and of course public competition is involved the price almost always gets pushed up immediately (low hanging fruit).  

The home is nicely landscaped, but most of the acreage is a dirt field, which was used for gardening and fruit trees.  

But the kitchen could use some sort of bright accent: fruit bowl, flowers, bright cannisters.

It's common sense not to put all your eggs in the same basket, but how do you apply that saying to real estate investment?

Most will tell you to put it into a mixed basket of funds that you have no control over.I personally would rather put my money into safe investments that create passive income almost tax free.

Do all the List guys see that as a way to gather "the Low Hanging Fruit?"
