All about optmizing your current process, trimming the fat, and excelling performance in the processes that generate the most income/value to your business.

Had a fat acquisition fund and was waiting on a couple sellers to get off the fence.

I certainly don’t feel that school is pointless, but I think if you are paying for a college education they could definitely trim the fat and put a little more focus on your selected major earlier on.

The grill on the left looks like a gas grill, but the burners and other gas fittings crabbed out. 

It was under market, ran all the numbers and even made expenses fat.

I simply sat down with myself, and I said "Self, what if you could figure out a Safe way to buy BEFORE the auction and beat all those fat cats to the punch?".

Parents are usually unwilling to let their college-kid start off with a big fat strike to begin with, so rent is paid regularly and on-time. 

I've been driving it now for 2yrs, have only needed to pay for consumables, oil, gas, and 2 new tires.Another great thing about the Econoline Vans, they are built on the Ford truck chassis, so that means a reliable chassis, drivetrain, and parts are readily available all over North America.Since you are from Indy you have all 4 seasons of weather, with a van you can load up your stack of drywall, plywood, lumber, etc and not worry about it getting rained on/snowed on/ etc while in transport.And if you don't need to be hauling things on a daily basis, then just pick up a cheap 'burner'/disposable Honda.

Classic mistake is the owner will hoard cash and live fat for years and make good bank.

(The 4 burners are working) A repair man came within a week and ordered the parts and is returning tomorrow.
