It's easier to pick up more rental units and spread your eggs across multiple baskets rather than investing in one flat in a city and finding the building is a bust.

Get rid of the existing tenants that are most likely paying below market, poorly screened, and bad for the business.I would pick 1-2 rentals that are "low hanging fruit" and easy to renovate.

The tree keeps growing and producing more fruit(money) over time and you still have the tree which is likely worth more than when you acquired it.You have to make sure it is watered and fertilized and maybe pruned occasionally.

A lot of the time someone successful in the real estate business does not have a TON of spare time to spend educating someone newer so you need to find ways to create value for them in order to build a fruitful relationship 

From the experience I have as a wholesaler I've discussed the % of the deal that my investors look for but what I find is that they're always in search of that unicorn 50%, 60%, or even 70% deal these days when there are so many low hanging fruit ~75% deals that can still bring a really great chunk of change on the back end.

Attempts to get a hold of the buyers haven't been fruitful.

As a recent college engineering grad who formerly had only been exposed to the typical American life (piling on as much debt as possible in hopes of keeping up with the Joneses), you guys have really got the gears turning in my head and have opened a new way of thinking for me.After recently obtaining a good paying job, I almost made the mistake of buying a new truck and taking on some of the other bad debt that comes with most college grads; instead, I have chosen to put my eggs in the real estate basket.

All the easy fruit is gone and I do piss on myself because every property I bought and fixed up is worth millions today, should of kept one.

Starting to see that this path may not be a fruitful one to follow.

There are shysters in every business waiting to take your money… so go online, read reviews, ask for several references and call them to see if they were satisfied before you move forward.Wishing you a Happy & fruitful house-hack!
