Some have been successful, some belly up for various reasons.

Insurance did the plumbing test and outcome was sewer line is belly which needs to be fixed.

Anyone who has money for beer and cigarettes isn't hurting that bad and he could afford something, plus the local Taco Bell is hiring starting at 15 and still cant find anyone, most retailers will hire anyone with a pulse. 

@Michael BellI have a little bit of real estate development experience.

Congrats on the fat checks!

The fat sweaty guy with the gas can is locking the exit doors.

The winter is a good time to buy as things slow down and people are inside getting fat!

Lenders are different than partners, with the sole purpose of making their purse fat at the expense of yours which is lean.Do it in your own spake the lessons of Babylon. 

And that ratio can offset another investment that might be a low cash flow to start.Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered.

Thanks for the joke for a good belly laugh.
