in some areas  yes the low hanging fruit has been picked.but there is always deals to be had for those with cash..

Make me move is not proving fruitful, Darrell.

Call them up and offer them the fruits of your research.

But now I’m reaching a point where I want to splurge a little.For those who live frugally - at what point, if ever, did you start enjoying more of the fruits of your labor?

Dont juice yourself for a $60 light fixture.

We are just finishing up the final three units, so hopefully the decision to go with 5 versus 4 units will bear fruit with future appraisals.

There’s your estimate.In most of my syndications the taxable income has been near zero in the first couple of years (we do cost seg so that juices it but even without cost seg the taxable income should be fairly low thanks to standard depreciation).  

It's going to take sometime but consistent effort will bear fruit for you.

I'm sure you will get some fruitful responses from this post.
