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.

That's all gone with the MLO Comp Rule, and the MLO must get paid the same regardless of loan terms (and mysteriously now everything is 30YF and no fancy "features" LOL), but that cuts both ways -- the MLO can't give himself a big fat bonus on just your loan, nor can the MLO take a pay cut just on your loan.

As a property manager, if a tenant came to me with four dogs wanting to rent.. my answer would be a big fat NO.

I didn't have a $24k car, but I wrote fat credit card checks as down payments on my seller-financed houses and apts. $87k worth.I used my passive income to attack the 87k aggressively about 8 years in.

Like it or lump it, the Fannie/Freddie stuff amounts to a big fat gov't subsidy of the loan terms, and it's tough to compete with that if your loans aren't thusly backed. 

Good luck and you'll need a fat wallet if the tank ruptured.

I dunno, that is a big fat issue for me here with any Probate attorney, if one is involved.

Bowling and billiards are things that fat guys can do!
