Eventually it shall Bring forth Fruit.

I just hope to someday be in the same boat as you and enjoying the fruits of our labor.Take care and thanks again for the motivation!

Since you have $100k to work with, you have the option of investing in a few different markets instead of putting all of your eggs in one basket.

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.

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
