I honestly still don't know if that's too much or too littleWhat Gene said.

If fat-dumb-& happy with the income - you couldn't get them to ever sell to you.

Kept fat, dumb and happy!

My very first deal, I net $25,000 plus at settlement, and I didn't put one cent of equity into the deal.Thing is, it became harder and harder for me to find deals with that much fat in them, and when I started assigning a dollar value to my time (and paying the IRS their cut), I realized that the money wasn't as good as it looked.Now I see the value in long term holds, and that is my new goal.

Welcome aboard, Gene!

So much for fat fingers (flash crash reference).

When we were bootstrapping there really wasn't enough money for everyone to take a salary fat enough to sustain their lifestyle though.

This seller will end up with $0 (yes a big fat ZERO), so they are hoping that some sucker might just give them something more than that!

Thanks Gene for the recommendation I just picked it up today and will begin reading.
