Marketing is important but real estate isn't marketing, it's not a numbers game like selling cars, you need to know your market, identify the belly of the beast because.....that's right, every deal is unique!  

I had a property where they didn't even supply comps, and there were hundreds available, just not the ones they needed to fund the fat pensions and other ridiculous gorwing fees they have.

I've made as little as $500 when the deal was skinny and as much as $65,000 when it was fat.

@Nathan Schoenborn well I don't need to listen to any pod cast  RE is most defiantly a belly to belly business at the end of the day.. at least in my 42 years at flailing at it.

And, like it or not, no matter how much you like or think you can trust the people who work for you... eventually, one of them will decide that they can take a big, fat bite out of you. 

If lions only make half kills, they will never have the strength to get a full belly and they will always be hungry.

I'm new at this, but this is what I've worked our so fat.

We have refused to insure properties because of the fat that there was a double closing and there was no disclosure made

I think it is more important to "trim the fat" from the budget, rather than the always popular political method of charging the taxpayers more in some fashion or another.
