I think it is very unwise to throw all your eggs in one basket and ideally I would like to diverse more, but I figure if I had $1 mil tomorrow there’s plenty of time in the future to spread out risk further.

Would you suggest putting all eggs in 2 basket?

Who knew that helping others could be so fruitful?

Nothing to say those connections would be fruitful either.PRO: I did get a lot of ideas from the presentation.

Same reason why Coca Cola invests in bottled water, iced tea, fruit juice, etc.

I am extremely excited to add value to my community and enjoy the fruits along the way. 

@Sylvia B. if you want to finance that property and be on the hook, and your'e left holding the basket, when it turns out that the rehab wasn't done correctly (oh, and by the way the county inspector is wanting to know where your permits and approvals are) that's your option.The only thing that matters in Real Estate transactions is "can you prove it".

Work within your strengths and don't just try to grab at low hanging fruit.

Butler and Hosch appears to have grown too big too fast and when the foreclosure market dipped, they really dipped as they seemed to have had all of their eggs in that one basket, the foreclosure market.

(Low hanging fruit).
