Horses? 

Service animals can be dogs or miniature horses.

I like this, bet on the jockey more than the horse kind of situation.

I did hundreds of them .. then the crash happened and well things in the BRRR world stalled and then of course the new buy and BP coined the term like it was something new.. but its old old school for sure. 

Just to beat a dead horse, we could see a recession in the future where you and/or your spouse lose your jobs.

I know it would have helped me.Now that I am out from under these two properties I am waiting on a HELOC on my primary to get approved I will be getting right back on the horse but with much smaller rehabs.Below is the house that sold today.

I would look into every and all claims about someone as well as reach out to his former colleagues (who are here on BP) - as part of my point was sometimes its easier to go straight to the horses mouth and see how they respond.  

Was it easier to dig the foundation with shovel, horse and scraper or with a track hoe?

If there's a hole, it may be a red flag.b) sensitivity analysis: I examine all the assumptions, and make sure I can live with the worst case scenarios.c) "Stall and see": if they are getting money over multiple years, and there is no penalty for investing later, I would usually wait so I get some real performance data, versus having to look at theoretical pro forma information.d) Recession stress test: I will not invest in anything, until I subject it to recession level stress and see if I can live with the result.

The work on the house that was under construction was stalled.
