"The owners eye makes a fat calf."

So long as we tax “income” we’ll always have a fat bloated pig like organization to determine what everyone’s “income” is (that isn’t a W2 worker bee)

So if we shave a little fat off Dodd Frank, Mr Banker can start playing like its 2004 again.

The market cap in my area has dropped from about 10% to 6% for b- 5+ plexes, my fave, since I started buying in '03.

I finally figured out what happened....Our wonderful Gov Charlie Crist has a great idea to cut our property taxes and try to get the local governments to cut the fat and run efficiently.

Sometimes you start out to make a little and end up donig even better.Same agent as in the other thread, she calls me and says she's got an very stale MLS listing, has a poor credit buyer (my fave) and do I want to look.

Thank you for the link.I think now may be a time to tread cautiously and only swing at the really "fat pitches".  

#1  cash out at peak of the market... buy/hold forever is not a good strategy (at least not for some properties)#2  cut out the fat (poorly performing properties or properties with very low appreciation potential)#3  Get cash heavy to invest in other areas and other markets (switching markets, leaving texas and focusing on atlanta).  

The property is among 20 plus other 4 plex buildings, kind of like a town house community.The problem is that the price is high and there is a really fat HOA fee for the building that I can't get out of, making the numbers tight. 

I think that there is definitely enough fat in this deal to make it work even if mistakes are made.
