We have a fat Heloc on our paid-off primary.

A fat heloc is my recommendation.  

The reason you haven't closed on a deal this month, is because you are committed to closing a deal this month and not Committed to cold calling 10 MLS listings every day for the next month.The reason you can't get rid of that stubborn belly fat, is because you are committed to loosing belly fat and not committed to running 3 miles a day.Essentially, my epiphany is nothing short of this.Focus on the process and the results will come.

Now, the plus side to this big fat giant property tax hike that the buyer will incur is that the county is prohibited by Prop 13 from coming in and jacking that bill way the hell up on an annual or bi-annual basis.

John ... the big fat guy in the steam room gives the kid a simple lesson.

I used to be a big fat guy but lost 160 pounds in my mid 20s and kept it off.I suppose my first step into this industry (whether I knew it or not) was when I bought my mobile home in my mid 20s.  

Apologies for any typos...fat thumbs on a little keyboard.

Some may disagree with this and say that they can manage the risk in such a way that more debt equals less risk, but history is full of examples of those that thought they could outsmart the risk and went belly up when a downturn proved otherwise, so I respectfully disagree and state instead that one should assume that there is no free lunch when it comes to debt or anything else.Some practical examples of using debt to manage risk level ... when I was young, single, and without kids, I was more focused on growing my portfolio and had a larger appetite and capacity to take on risk. 

my apologies,in my rush to post I fat fingered- meant to type 'reputable sewer companies'.Trying to figure out how to update or delete this post.

I do not think that will be a huge issue, as I have a distinct advantage and I have  just purpose for my business.But paying about 700  (price is not the point here) for a press release and it will end up hurting me (duplicate content, and spammy backlinks) makes my belly ache.
