For the person with little to no wealth, just getting started, putting their eggs in one basket and watching it carefully makes more sense, likely up to the first $500K - $1M. 

Think about where those people hang out and network. 

If so, invest.It's not let me find some deal for me-- the lowest hanging fruit.

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

If you are organized enough to forsee hang ups and talk with your GC about potential challenges on a regular basis, two brains are better than one.

There's more low-hanging fruit here than I'll ever need, but hitting the ground running to pick it before land prices start reflecting the new higher values requires more capital than I have and I don't do debt.There are two main companies in the US who do the work of creating and selling eco-mitigation credits on a joint venture basis, separated by the Mississippi river.

The idea of putting eggs in one basket (season) does tend to intimidate me.  

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

Hang out with others that are doing what you want to do and invest your $25-$50,000 in real estate vs education. 

Once you feel like you've gotten the hang of the numbers, start putting offers in that make sense.
