Goals:I want to own a fat portfolio of income properties in my life. 

Our cat is still fat, but she seems happier.

Let me put this into perspective for you…Imagine standing in front of 1000 people that haven't eaten in 41 days, while holding up a juicy BLT chicken and tuna sandwich dripping in bacon fat, and say: “Who wants one?”.

Now instead of allowing your rental to go belly up with a large claim, it is better to purchase adequate insurance to cover yourself. 

Are you talking about 10 acres or 1000, one building lot or a subdivision that went belly up?

With amazon and google teaching folks that they don’t need the belly to belly approach as much as in the past it opens markets and virtual investing like never before.  

Some will be belly to belly letters and some will be Wall Street.  

Here's a sample "roadmap" when prequalifying buyers on the phone, I tell them to remember the acronym FATPOP - which stands for:F - financing: ask the buyer if they need bank financing to buy the house or if they have prequalified with a mortgage brokerA - area: which part of town are they interested to buy or invest inT - timing: if they like the property and the price, how soon can they closeP - property: once their answer on the FAT questions are acceptable, you can now describe the property and highlight its great featuresO - Owner: are you the owner of the buying decision or are you a broker or a wholesaler or do you have a spouse or partner to check with to make the decisionP - price

I don't have to find a deal to put food on the table and I can patiently wait for the proverbial fat pitch.

It was belly to belly all the way you needed to establish reporte'
