It will be low hanging fruit in the hands of an ambulance chaser to prove there was owner neglect if you decide one day to "tell the tenants they need to go to the shed and fire up the snow blower"What do you do when the snow blower is out of gas?

Don't worry about all your goals at one time hard to keep all the puppies in the basket.

Essentially, if there is something negative occurring in one of the regions where you have property, you don't have all your eggs in one basket.- You can keep your 9-5.

That will probably take more cash to get in now, but may provide more fruit later.

@Marian Smith I just finished renovations on my current house and my wife would like to enjoy the fruits of my labor for a few years before we sell. 

To provide diversification, and not put all my eggs in one basket, I could spread the $1m out into 20 different deals at $50k each, with different lead investors in different real estate markets across the country. 

Just a thought, but what about dipping one's toe in more gently by buying smaller complexes, rather than putting all your eggs in one basket?

As exciting as it is to get started, pick the low hanging fruit and do something!  

@John P.Our absorption rate is under 2 months, vacancy 0% and 2-4 unit multi's are selling below 6% cap rates.There is no low hanging fruit up here in Logan.But Tremonton and Ogden both still have room for opportunity.

With that said, great Wholesalers are out there... sometimes you may just have to navigate through the rough waters to find the islands with the most fruitful trees.
