But here’s the flip side that many don't see:The Bar is Lower (in a good way): The "low-hanging fruit" is gone.

Which in a way, is fair, but I believe this is their loop hole to only fund the low hanging fruit deals, and stick people with a bill of 4-7k and a property search app that isn’t that good in the first place. anyway, I am always looking to connect, dining the next project, and get it funded!

Financially, Illinois is a basket case, and Chicago even worse.

Beyond that, adding popular amenities that your competition doesn't have is a low hanging fruit. 

This is just one example of the many ways to make money in RE.Look at vacation rentals to try and make money and have a place to go on vacation but look all around at other RE opportunities to make money and don't put all your eggs in the same basket.  

So if you decide to fund the whole thing yourself and put all your eggs in one or a few baskets, there’s a much higher risk that the particular property/properties doesn’t do well.

I’m trying to understand this and have a quick question - do you make any money during the initial 5 years, or do you have to do the “work” (find the properties, get the financing, and sell them) only to not actually see the fruits of your labor for 61 months?

With the person in the basket, we should reach 30 foot around and hopefully be able to do 2 or 3 trees at each stop.   

It is as easy to pick out as a wrotten apple in a basket.

This makes it low hanging fruit for ai disruption.
