I would like to move to Austin (as there are many like-minded entrepreneurs there) and want to live on a ranch with 2+ acres, so I can raise goats, chickens, and have fruit and vegetable garden. 

The state has three distinct personalities (mountains, piedmont, and ocean), which limits the risk of having all of your eggs in one basket.

I also believe in diversification across different asset categories...I'm not a fan of all of my eggs in one basket...good, bad or otherwise. 

Additionally, attending local real estate investor associations can be fruitful, as wholesalers often attend these events to connect with potential buyers.Another method is to keep an eye out for bandit signs in your local area that advertise messages like "we buy houses" or "cash for homes."

My “low hanging fruit” strategy is to buy a new owner occupied every year while keeping the RV to travel in parts of the year. 

Personally, I'm a big believer in hitting the low-hanging fruit (easiest kill) first, which is part of the reason I'm such a huge proponent of househacking! 

An example will illustrate this point.Suppose that every time you go to the grocery store, you buy the same basket of goods and today they cost $100.

There seems to be this focus on low hanging fruit, motivated sellers, flips and rentals.

Do not invest in any city on Neighborhood Scouts’ list of the 100 most dangerous US cities.Inflation compensating - Every time you go to the store, the same basket of goods costs more and more dollars.

Eventually it shall Bring forth Fruit.
