There are absolutely risks involved....but the chances you will actually die are pretty slim.

(Of course, the odds of that happening are slim so you may not want to over-insure like that)  Ideally you'd want to cover your investment so after paying back the mortgage, you get all your cash back, even with a total loss.   

All of us also know we are operating under pretty slim margins as is and aren’t all fat cats counting our stacks but that is how we are viewed by many.  

If you’re leveraging over 80% at the start your chances of legitimate long term cash flow are very slim.

If Senate stays Republican, there is a slim chance such law would be passed.

Then they try and talk unsuspecting buyers into crap deals that have weak locations, leases, tenants, etc. that couldn't sell to the experienced buyers and brokers.Nobody wants overpriced trash whereas loss of capital is high and long term upside is very low to slim.

The odds of your realtor bringing you an off market deal is very slim unless they are either very well connected or very investor focused.

Good gurdy man, $180,000 gross income with 4 employees is SLIM! 

I doubt it is nearly that simple but it does have a slim basis of truth.
