Purchase price: $178,000 Cash invested: $100,000 Sale price: $322,500 Fix and flip, the investor got fat on this one because it was a year project and we paid him 10% APR.

@Kaylee WalterbachHands down, an honest hardworking new agent, with a great broker, will be the better agent than slick 30 year veteran agent on fat-street, mr.

The FAT lady has sung. 

....get fat

After all, my personal house had nearly doubled in value since purchasing it a year prior and I was feeling pretty fat about my new-found wealth.

LOL My statement was assuming that you had placed a fat down payment.Please don't take my posts offensively as I do respect the vast experience you share with the community, and do not intend to offend when I share my opinion.

This indicates to me that there is a lot of fat that can trim, and while you can invest with no money down (read: other people's money), having a bit of your own makes life immeasurably easier. 

In anticipation, a big fat thank you!!

Remember the pig gets fat, and the hog gets slaughtered!
