On the other hand, I get big fat goose bumps over a relatively simple $55K purchase, $10K rehab, $90k appraisal, refi most of my money back out and $1050 monthly rent.

I constantly crunch the numbers almost monthly to see how much money I am making when including the amazing increase in the property's value each time I raise the rent and I do my math over and over so that I am excited and I can do the math in my head.So, when the tenant spit in my face my mathematical mind went into overdrive and this irate tenants idiotic move that resulted in an eviction just earned me a big fat paycheck.

Those two complexes we are spinning our wheels and we need to cut the fat.  

As a property manager, if a tenant came to me with four dogs wanting to rent.. my answer would be a big fat NO.

It's like a fat guy wearing a horizontal striped shirt - not a good look.

:F = At least 2 of these criteria are met: within 2 blocks of a homeless shelter, multiple houses within 2 blocks that are burned out/boarded up, recent murders or shootings have taken place there; while you were asleep, someone drove by your rental and shot at/through it,a police officer was shot within 2 blocksLOL, my "D+" properties are F by that standard.

There are events and market manipulations that cause the market to lose confidence and corporations and fat cats to stop investing.The Fed raised the prime eight times in two years to dump a glacier on a red hot economy.

Ho, ho, ho, that's the time to show up with an insultingly low offer, presented by an agent shaking a signed contract in one hand and a fat earnest-money check in the other, insisting, "I know these people.

Focus on trimming the fat in your personal finances, if you can.

Having large amounts of body fat can make them “feel” very hot subjectively compared to an average sized person in the same room.
