Selling on amazon (FBA) has been fruitful, but requires some capital and time. 

For products catering to the middle/upper-middle class, you're not going to find such low-hanging fruit in any major market. 

It has been often suggested here and elsewhere to pursue something that keeps a toe in the water of the working world, as it limits the downside risks, and could turn into a fruitful enterprise for post-retirement.At the request of a friend and BP associate, I've been asked to provide expert opinion and electrical analysis on residential properties that are either on the market, or recently sold through his brokerage, as there are many customers who want a deeper look at their electrical system, deeper than what a typical home inspector will do, but they are not ready to ask a contractor to come out and simply give a blank check to 'fix whatever's wrong' (famous last words).

would like some feedback for those that have knowledge on the north providence market. possibly looking to get into this market and would like some feedback on that alreday in it . i am looking at the fruit hill area . pros and cons would be great thanks 

Everyone is going towards the low hanging fruit (which I get), so I'll stay back and increase my hustle for my desired deal flow.

We all seek wealth for different reasons and no one on this post grew up in the middle of the Great Depression, so passing finding flaws in someone who accumulated a net worth an order of magnitude above their peers may not prove too fruitful.

But you must be able to demonstrate your intent.So in your case selling a portfolio of rentals to buy one really juiced beautiful property to hold as a rental is fine for 1031. 

Hello Dennis Williams I think the previous posts about having high efficiency appliances and storage are huge value adds for a multifamily unit.I think partnering with local businesses to showcase a sense of community could be an interesting way to leverage the common areas, such as fruit markets, coffee tastings, or other communal activities.

I can't speak for others but I'm after the low hanging fruit that's ripe for the picking.

Anyone willing to jot down a few notes/minutes from the more fruitful talking points of the meetup?
