Trim the fat and you’ll be more lean.

Of all these properties, I’ve seen two in real life before purchasing.Slight difference, he's a wholesaler:1) Has no clue of the mystery true buyer will give him a fat check or not beyond his own say-so.2) Has $0 dollars tied in escrow so no loyalty to the deal, which I think is immoral to make the seller take all the risk in reliance3) Thinks he's screwing over the seller at a low price.

Many years ago, stock brokerage had fat commissions.   

Now I have fat reserves, fat equity and don't mind purchasing with cash .I use private lenders vs commercial loans and you couldn't get me to blanket collateralize multiple properties if you paid me. 

All the Meetups I attend seem to be at Tex-Mex places, which I like, but someone who can't eat dairy/carbs/fat/meat would have a hard time.

If your strengths compliment someone elses then you should partner at whatever split you feel comfortable with until you can build a track record.. just remember pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered 

Hey Justin,Thanks for your comment.Our bread and butter are single family but we are happy to take a "custom order" for multifamily.We usually do this for existing investors only tho.Also, as multifamily is out of the usual scope of what we do, we would require some fat cash in the deal to give us peace of mind that the transaction will actually go through.Over the years I have experienced many folks talking a big game but never actually playing it.Thus we need to protect the company in such a way by asking for $$$ in advance.Thanks again and don't hesitate to ask any further questions.

Think the puck stops with you trying to be some form of leader on here.Self proclaimed "Zen" of Real Estate, give me a fat ****ing break. 

Anyone can swing a bat but waiting for the fat pitch requires a decent amount of emotional maturity.

  : )Fast forward to 2018 and the ugly truth is that 2.5 years into ownership, the flat roofs and boilers reign supreme over the big fat CALPERS pension that I worked 25 years to earn.
