But personally, FWIW, I consider the chances to be pretty slim.

But ya, the pickings can be slim for sure if you’re expecting something to just pop up in front of you.

However, your cash-flow margin may be quite slim depending on the actual vacancies, maintenance and turnovers.

Hi Maria,The cash flow is really slim on this deal.

chance of buying the note are slim and none.. 

It would be totally awesome if I can somehow luck out and foreclose on them but chances of that are slim. 

We ended up changing directions because I was working every weekend and profit margins are always slim working with investors as a contractor.

The big flip operations are buying at slim margins, and savvy homeowners are buying foreclosed properties because they can't find what they like on the MLS.    

I felt completely abandoned and powerless against a mighty problem.I then started calling agents at random hoping to get someone to help me rehab a 150K house for a slim profile margin after all the work required to manage a construction project.

Being from California though, I feel you on duplex being slim to none.
