And make sure you won't have any overly "skinny" cuts at any of the edges of the room.

So, I start swiping, now my apartment that I just signed a 2-year lease on, has a brand new 65'' flat screen, PS3, laptop, I pod (new touch screen version of course) leather sofas, fancy dining set, the whole 9.

Before you do anything.. go sit down with a local land planner engineer and have them tell you what you really have.Also go to the county planning and see if your shadow plat can be reverted to legal buildable lots.in Portland this is quite common its called a lot confirmation.A little history on the West coast.Our cities basically expanded from San Francisco back in the 1800's and the same engineering firms that platted SF in the middle 1800s also did Portland and many other cities.. so they did this with 25/100 lots on a grid pattern.. its those 25 X 100 lots that are under your plats and sometimes 50x100  unless someone did a reversion to acreage or combined them legally many times they are still legal lots.and or like Portalnd they have all sorts of funky ways you can resplit them easily.for instance I have one right now  were I had one home it was a tear down tore it down. it had 4  25x 100s  but because the house straddled the middle two they would only allow 3 lots.well I confirmed 3 lots then did lot line adjustments so I got 1 skinny  28 and 2 36's  the 36s I sold for 50k premium over the 28s and a 50 foot with two 25s  would not have netted me as much either .and to be frank..

Hi all,Here is the long and skinny… in 2019 my wife and I purchased a AZ home using a VA loan.

(although as others have said, it is difficult in states like CA, but in OR it's only $100yr and if that messes up the property P&L, that deal is too skinny to be in) You can be sued for anything, by a tenant, a visitor, a neighborhood, or a stranger.

Sixty something seller is at the door in a skinny bathing suit and robe.

People who have 100+ buyers on their list need them because their deals are too skinny and they need the next bigger fool to come along and bail them out.

We put in some pretty skinny offers but you never know!

@Jay Akpovwa, we agree with @James Wise -- there's an opportunity here in Columbus right now that we are passing up on for our investor clients, because when we got the skinny on it, the 31 unit MF apt complex ended up being a mishmash of individually parceled condos.

Also, I didn't run the numbers but it looks kind of skinny since the rent is less than 1% of the purchase price and you have to tack on the condo fees as well.
