My first job growing up was working at a fruit market across the street from my subdivision when I was 14 years old.

Buying turnkey and adding small updates here and there has proven far more fruitful for myself and other buyers (unless you have too much cash lol). 

It's just easier to make deals here, but I fear putting all my eggs in the same basket. 

Low hanging REO fruit may be hard to find, but there are still people with problems paying mortgages and bills and we know this because unemployment is still high and confidence in the economy is stagnating if not declining.

To throw all your eggs into the flipping basket without doing a deal to me is not wise.

For simple math, let's say you were like 99% of the fruit cakes on this forum--- they'll say net $10k/mo.

LOL  Talk about passive aggressive.There have been long discussions on this and no fruit.

That could be low hanging fruit for a good designer

Most people just want to chase low-hanging fruit all day and find that ever-elusive motivated seller.

The low hanging fruit is gone.
