Just morally bankrupt.But I think it just looks like that on the part of the contributors because some the regular contributors who have written here, especially the contractors, are trying to really hold back because this is a tragic situation and cursing what is obviously a tragic situation all around here won't help at all.My fat a** has never gone on a roof not strapped into a safety harness with an anchored safety rope. 

Like Lima one Or Kavi  etc.. easy check there.but rates too good to be true is a BIG FAT RED Flag to a pump and dump due diligence or advance fee company.

Well, you could start by sending me a big fat check of all those managed proceeds 😂

(OK, so it's silly on a few levels, but then again...)Sure, there's plenty of fat on those bones any one of us *could* carve off. 

On the fat edge/face of the floor joist?

We have a fat Heloc on our paid-off primary.

A fat heloc is my recommendation.  

Need to reinterate @Brian Gibbons important point:  Watch your wording, "down payment" is a purchase term'Option Consideration' (my fave)  or 'Option Fee' should be acceptable in the states.  

The reason you haven't closed on a deal this month, is because you are committed to closing a deal this month and not Committed to cold calling 10 MLS listings every day for the next month.The reason you can't get rid of that stubborn belly fat, is because you are committed to loosing belly fat and not committed to running 3 miles a day.Essentially, my epiphany is nothing short of this.Focus on the process and the results will come.

Now, the plus side to this big fat giant property tax hike that the buyer will incur is that the county is prohibited by Prop 13 from coming in and jacking that bill way the hell up on an annual or bi-annual basis.
