Use texting to reach out to low-hanging fruit.

You are in a great situation being ambitious, young, single, no kids, and flexible ... yes, starting out is very difficult as it can take years before you start to see the fruits of your hard work, especially before you lock down your first investments; just have to keep at it and have faith that your hard work will pay off in the long haul, so long as you keep at it.You mentioned sales ...

You haven't spent one extra dollar that you were not planning to direct to early paydown anyway, but you get the fruit of your labor earlier and I think it makes more sense if you are planning to stop the w2 job relatively young.  

That was low hanging fruit.

I spent about a decade working my *** off, getting ahead, and now I'm enjoying the fruit of those labors.Here's my two cents: don't buy a condo.

We moved from the Memphis area to Hong Kong two years ago but non RE relationships blossomed into investment opportunities that will likely continue to bear fruit in the future. 

Growing a high yield fruit tree is different from harvesting it.

Utah is ground zero for back end fullfillment companies.. so this is not new or shocking to many of us in the KNOW.Just another guru selling rehash information promising the moon and drowning their clients in futures.Sorry this happened to you.. however the systemic problem I see is that folks for some reason think they can buy their way into the real estate business.. which simply can't happen.. and it really depends on your market if your trying to do this in CA.. then thats a tough one right there.. and the markets have shifted dramatically in the last 36 months so there just is not the amount of distressed inventory out there or low hanging fruit like there was 8 to 10 years ago.as stated above just let the public know on social media.

People do much more damage than little rat dogs etc... crayons on walls, cracked windows, smoking, fruit punch stains on carpets, holes in walls, disgusting bathrooms and kitchens are all caused by the people not their pets.Then, when it comes time to renew their lease, my little $20.00-$25.00 nuisance increase is not a big deal.  

If you want ripe low-hanging fruit of many kinds, at least in relation to Seattle, this is where you'll find it.
