It's been a back-burner dream for about 12 years or so and, per my wife's suggestion, I wanted to get that out of the way before the baby came.

He has no idea what he is doing, he has no experience and no capital - but he expects to make a fat profit on his first deal.

My wife and I went barn burners for 7 years buyinig rentals. 

There were some hiccups with the purchase of my current home, so I am a little worried that coming to this agent with hopes of investing so soon after won’t be taken seriously, and I’ll be put on the back burner.

I had to forgive a lot of the fees because my PM had so much going on between selling homes and managing over 20 other properties and the storms that came through along with personal family issues that I got put on the back burner.

Every single time I showed that house, there was a fat, shirtless guy sitting behind the window staring out at the backyard. 

My fingers have been getting fat too.

Anyone offering loans with an ROI for the lender below an index fund better have a good explanation for why they are doing that.To wit: The 30YF Fannie/Freddie stuff can be down below S&P 500 index fund because Fannie/Freddie purchasing it on the secondary market amounts to a big fat subsidy. 

A few months ago, a tenant complained the burners on the electric stove isn't working, instead of buying a new one for $600.00 I opted to fix it for $200.00.

It may seem annoying, but it'll be a hell of a lot less annoying then getting sued because your tenants fat father in law fell through the floor.
