Once I get a solid deal completed, and am nice and fat I start back at focusing on working out.

Renatus or something similar rings a bell. I

I'll just throw in another opinion that aligns with many of the others.If it's a grease clog, a jetting ($600) should get it cleared.You should only need to replace the run if it's cracked or significantly bellied. 

Offer a fat "finder fee" and they will bring the deals to you before looking anywhere else because they can earn a commission without having to do any work.I bought two investment properties in the past 18 months that were off-market.

If we could I would like to have the margages be low enough so we don't have to rely on the rent and it can just take care of it's own unit and anything left over I'll invest. to keep the momentum up we are ok staying here untill we have enough to put a fat down payment.We were thinking if the morgage taxes and insurance were about 500 to 600 a month we could comftorably live off her income. but I am not sure it's not exactly the sane as rent there are more expenses to owning a home

I didn't reassume the loan at the time he defaulted because I had a business venture that went belly up at about the same time.  

Being fat, ugly, no acting talent and I can’t sing

Even if I buy commercial at a lower cap rate (lets say 6%) and raise the value in repairs, rent increases and fat cutting to lets say 8.5%, my final cash on cash returns are still lower than a average to good SFR deal. 

Nothing like a fat mark up to help "wallet train" some sense into folks.If it were really just an issue when they were cooking, they'd put the batteries back in when they were done. 

@David BellI think @Brian Eastman provided you with a great answer.We have many clients who do comingled deals from their IRA.
