Oh then rather than hiring staff to catch up on the millions of dollars in back bills to be paid just from Medicare alone at the Cook County Hospital, he figured the best way to balance the budget was to make the sales tax in Cook County the HIGHEST yes HIGHEST in the nation.I literally have my stomach turn when I think of Michael Jackson, but as with investing, politics is the same, we can only blame ourselves and if we want change, we need to start with "THE MAN IN THE MIRROR".

I can stomach being stuck in a deal for many years with no cash flow and pathetic returns, but I can't stomach losing all my money due to optimistic underwriting.My current thought is to only enter deals that have longer term loans in place and would be able to hold for a long time if necessary without bank calls, do business with syndicators that rode out 2008 with stellar track records, only do deals that have some sort of value add component, and that have a "story" of how/why the deal is notably better than what an average market deal would be.

But if you're numbers are right, they're only paying 33% of market value which I wouldn't be able to stomach.
