I am not excited about the fat 39.6% tax bill I am creating for myself (good news bad news about having a good day job). 

I think the reason is that your refi bank prefers not giving you a big, fat check, which makes them very nervous.

When i quit I was making a fat paycheck running a 5 state sales territory for a large specialty manufacturing company. 

Who are your fave brokers and agents working in commercial in Minneapolis, St.

got it same thing goes though you don't hand over the keys to the castle until you have your dough.. you are learning this one now.and you are also learning that signing docs does not mean anything if the money does not follow.good luck with it.. and you will get over it... good luckAnd yes with commercial you want to think the buyers are more professional for sure.but its not over till the fat lady sings and you have wired funds into escrow.

For example if you were very overweight, you may crack some fat jokes about yourself.

This is crazy to me considering if you bought almost any resale property in 2011 you would be cashing in fat checks right now or even if you sold a few years ago in 2014.

After all, I enjoy getting checks monthly - but it would nice to cash in a fat check once in while too.Question 2 - Networking is key to finding good deals - MLS can have some good deals periodically - but the best deals are going to come from a distressed situation that you find out about through word of mouth - and that means staying in front of your network and growing it so that you are exposed to new situations and opportunities.

I dont pay their large fat check commissions to simply get quotes and contracts, they need to give me knowledge and make me understand legal and coverage consequences.
