I hope your journey is a fruitful one!

It also protects you a bit because if something goes wrong, you don't have all your eggs in one basket. 

That being said, its probably not a basket you want to put all your eggs in but if something comes up that you know is a deal and you know you have a buyer then I say go for it, everyone wins.

Supreme court says tomatoes are vegetables, not fruit.

I'd love to drop them altogether, but I don't want all my eggs in one basket, either.

Even with no commission, they aren’t exactly low hanging fruit. 

Raw land, municipal water hooked up, electrical pole on site, flat/level, problematic trees felled, some fruit trees, backs to National Forest, salmon/steelhead hole, no structures. 180k, 70k down seller financed for 5 yrs at 6%.

They are created through the marrying of finance and negotiation to the asset.Right now you may be feeling like there isn't much low hanging fruit on the tree.

After 35 years of investing and living through three market and one real estate crash,  I have learned that the key is to stay sufficiently liquid (so you do not have to sell during inevitable downturns) and diversify your assets so that you have eggs in more than one basket.
