Merry Christmas guys now if you will excuse me I must take care of some fat guy with a white beard and reindeer on my roof.

Having a flexible job with enough fat to save and invest is arguably a better position to be in for what it sounds like you want to do.If you do work for someone, I would suggest a much smaller venture, where you are able to wear many hats.

Anyone can swing a bat but waiting for the fat pitch requires a decent amount of emotional maturity.

Agree with @Colleen F. At

Even with a 25% tax, the fat profits these people are making will not dissuade them from leaving the flipping business.

This market will shed a lot of fat – inflated prices, investors who don't know what they're doing, realtors who aren't good, bad purchases, etc.

Who would have ever thought you could buy a share of Ford Stock & a share of GM stock for less than a Grande, no-fat, sugar-free Cinnamon Dolce Latte, no whip at Starbucks?

The thing to remember about the big boy "fat cat" investors, is that they really aren't real estate investors, a least not single family residential homes.

Fat fingers on the iPad accidently hit submit prior to finishing.

Now, we could turn around and sell this in a few years and make a nice fat payday, but who wants to give up $180k a year in passive income just to trade it for a nice tax bill.
