Go flip 10 of these great equity properties, make half a mill, and go throw that at 2m+ worth of high yielding rental property that doesn't come with a fat project associated. 

@Wy Kay I don't carry a gun into properties because it isn't legal to do so in NY & NJ, but i do go into some REALLY rough areas with and on behalf of my clients, there are a lot of rules that you can follow to keep you out of harms way but here are my faves:-Go to the property before noon-Be aware of your surroundings-Don't sneak into a property, announce yourself loudly and often when you walk through -Lock the front and rear door when you enter-Go with someone if you arent comfortable going alone -If a property is said to be vacant but there are occupants (squatters) skip itLastly, go with your gut, if you think a situation is unsafe it just might be.

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.

Weight is about 183 so want to shed off about the last 15 to 20 pounds left of fat.

After awhile, when we acquired enough homes and the reserve account got pretty fat, I've been less worried about this since it is highly improbable that all homes become vacant for one year at the same time; aside from that, only about 30% of our portfolio has any leverage on it - the rest is cash-owned, so the homes themselves are reserves of capital should the need arise.

I have a protein shake for breakfast, chicken salad (with low fat mayo and mustard) for lunch, and whatever my wife cooks for dinner.

It's like the concept of "fat FIRE" which I'm trying to follow as well.

Whenever recessions happen businesses use it as a way to trim the fat and get more efficient and I imagine that will happen this time around also. 

So keep fat margins in all of your estimates.
