I am planning to just have a very basic plan just incase we got hit by a bus...And a big fat bank account will help with your confidence.

We're seeing pricing vary drastically even just going 20 miles south of the city just because everyone is so "fat and happy" with work.

I'm thinking I can later cash-out refinance into a loan (possibly a VA loan) to finance another deal and wrap the new mortgage so as to keep the installment payments in place and avoid hitting my retiring family member with a big fat tax bill. 

And it's fair, it's a very minute thing and a complete fat tails scenario.

My hope is that all the soccer moms (and dads) go out of business and I can get their 6 deals a year too.For everyone that goes out of business someone replaces them.. its takes a big fat economic recession to winnow the licensed agent pool. 

Many years ago, stock brokerage had fat commissions.   

Save the money for a year or two and start looking for a "fat pitch."

My concern is that real estate makes a big fat target for increased taxes in the future.A raise in capital gains taxes will hurt the 'appreciation' folks.

I also have a nice fat $80K HELOC that I use to help fund investment purchases as needed just by going and asking for a check then paying a modest 2.25% interest only payment while the money is out (nothing when it isn't).

Am I being fed a big fat bologna sandwich or is it actually possible that they don’t keep those records?
