It took me over a year and a half of religiously posting on BP to see the fruits of my labor significantly pay off.

I've just been looking at the new construction and backing off a bit for age.

I know investors that approach the MLS and real estate agents and use the strategy of "Wholesaling Lease Options" on properties with sellers who want full market price.Going after MLS properties and For Sale By Owner is the "low hanging fruit" of real estate investing.

To begin with, our biggest expense was the kitchen rehab (gutted the kitchen and after all was said and done we included all appliances which we would not have if it wasn't a mobile home, but because it was a mobile with a great view, a fabulous and massive front porch, and a lovely orchard including 5 different types of fruit trees, etc. adding all new appliances was a recommendation made by our mentor as a final selling point that has gotten great feedback thus far). 

However, it certainly can be fruitful as well. 

That's like asking the guy at the grocery store "Hey, I really like the fruit you sell here.
