I'd take care of all the low-hanging fruit so that you can maximize your rents and save yourself headaches.Since your buying this house owner-occupied, you'll most likely need 20-25% down on your next investment property.

We're interested in all aspects of the market here and are committed long term to this market.So where is the most reliable sources for these kind of numbers, even in the raw?

I have assigned a few, but have found the fruit too high on the tree to move on another long-term rental.  

You do have real expenses but the raw money that the property is earning is more than 6.5%.

The first (3 acre) parcel of raw land has three years of tax liens on it, and can be foreclosed on due to those.

No small feat at times but it can indeed be fruitful.  

The point is, you have to dig in and find the deals that work, and the niche you are comfortable with There's not a lot of low hanging fruit.

Once a broker, commission and of course public competition is involved the price almost always gets pushed up immediately (low hanging fruit).  

I own a two pieces of raw land in northern California near Redding Chico Sacramento.  

Do all the List guys see that as a way to gather "the Low Hanging Fruit?"
