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. 

1 year: House hack plus 4 plex cover my living expenses5 year (Lean fire): 5k cover our living expenses (50 units should make this happen)10 years (Fat fire): 10-20k per month depending on our lifestyle but the goal is to buy a family plane for vacations and 20+ acres to build our family home.I want to grow this as a business, not a passive pursuit.

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

The sheep are gonna get slaughtered and we're gonna get fat bro.

That's a fat no!.

Agreed mate.Too many variations and mud thrown on the word over the years.Maybe we should come up with a new phrase lolSomething on the lines of "House Hacking" and "BRRR" 🤷‍♂️"Fully Renovated And Tenanted""FRAT" property investing lolCut the FAT and invest in FRAT haha

The feedback I usually get is that buyers wanted to assume the loan but the process was lengthy and complicated, and buyers eventually moved on leaving the seller with no equity and option to sell other than writing a fat check at the closing table since they had to continue to lower their price.

If my kitty was fat enough, I'd take 5% any day and throw my laptop and iPhone in the trash, sleep till 10am and play guitar with my amigo's haha

Ds want to send cities/states fat checks.It'll get worse as the liabilities on pub employee retirement funds gets deeper.At least in OR, politicians do NOT want to p*** off public employee unions.  

You don’t ask the fat guy for fitness advice and you don’t ask the ford salesman for Chevy advice.
