I'd also highly recommend keeping a fat emergency fund.

These boxes look big enough for fat rats.  

A girlfriend of mine lives at a property recently bought by Fat Property. 

Read "it's a whole new world" by Gene Trowbridge.

Since the motivation for a lawyer would be getting things made right vs. a fat fee.

When those big fat roaches infest the place guess whose fault it is, legally?

Over the years we have found a deal and then either over thought it and lost it or tried to shave that last bit of fat off the bone to reach some predetermined percentage like that ol' 70% number people are still tied to and guess what, another investor took the deal and reaped the rewards. 

So some of these syndicators that have a track record and experience have lots of capital chasing them to invest.The newer syndicators often put a fat split to investors to entice them to invest.

.⦿ Foreclosure + Motivated = Potential for a good deal.Yes, there is a big, fat, old, huge "PLUS" in that formula, as in, BOTH conditions need to be met for this formula to hold true, not just one.A vacant house/someone in foreclosure/someone dealing with a probate/tax lien, DOES NOT IN ANY WAY imply "motivated seller" or a “good deal”... or that they even WANT to sell at all.
