Let me put this into perspective for you…Imagine standing in front of 1000 people that haven't eaten in 41 days, while holding up a juicy BLT chicken and tuna sandwich dripping in bacon fat, and say: “Who wants one?”.

Not until a mentor kicked me in the butt, did I realize that I got "fat and happy."

Pigs get fat while hogs get slaughtered. 

Most of the premium used to pay fees and big fat commission check to the insurance agent who sold you the policy, and you are left with very little "cash value".

These are just talks we have from time to time on experience with how a GP thinks when sourcing and evaluating deals.For value add I only do very fat deals now to syndicate for single tenant.

My fat fingers do more harm than good on this galaxy S5......damn!

There is also a Fat FIRE movement which supports a higher standard of living and challenges the idea that sacrifice is necessary. 

Trim the fat and you’ll be more lean.

Come on mate, I’ve been in this game for way too long and I’ve seen the manipulation that goes on with many turnkey companies offering finance over the last 10 yearsAnd let’s not even get into the turnkey marketing sales companies pushing as many houses via financing just to get a fat commission on every property soldNot giving two dimes if an investor is solvent, and if they can afford it… 

I couldn't blame the Buyers, we weren't buying either, but these were fat deals with conservative ARV's and realistic rehab numbers we would have all been foaming at the mouth for just 6 months prior.
