The aim for this (besides a big fat profit) would be that this would provide far more living units for that property. 

Those were fat years!

They'll hit you with fat fees on the front/back end, jack your rate up, and take advantage of borrowers who were either too stupid or too impatient to save up for a reasonable down payment themselves - and they want to be paid for taking the risk on (essentially - subprime) borrowers like this. 

Like for many of us in the RE business that could be running a successful PM company A brokerage or sell real estate and make fat commish or Loan officer for conventional or commercial loans etc etc. you need that outside income so you can afford to own rentals.One of my good friends has a picture on his office wall  its his dump truck trailer and old back hoe.. thats what he started with on his own.

@Greg Gangle it’s safer in my opinion to take your cash and stack it so you have an extra fat reserve account, ie if you pay extra on the mortgage you have to refi, sell or put a Heloc on it to access that equity in the form of real money.

That will change if the day ever comes when we use %%%% to buy things.1%, 2%, etc....are ways to describe the fat in milk. 

Trim the fat and you’ll be more lean.

There is also a Fat FIRE movement which supports a higher standard of living and challenges the idea that sacrifice is necessary. 

Would it not have been a nice gesture and much easier if the nails bothered the scumbag so much he (or she) could have saved a lot of time and money if they bent their fat aged butts over and just picked up the nails.I received a complaint with a picture (of course) because there was a tiny single weed about 2 inched long protruding onto the sidewalk.The scumbag president of one HOA lived next door to one of my properties.

It's yours, you big fat baby.
