Makes me dream of big fat mortgages!

Make sure your investment property supports itself in a way in which it does not matter the external conditions.Here's a dumb analogy that I like to illustrate the situation:The way I see it is if your cow gives you milk every day, you will not care how fat it is, however if you need to slaughter it to eat, you will definitely want it to be fat and that may not be the case.All the best to you!

Miss the "fat bags"(not drugs).

You might have a fat wad of cash in the bank (You'd have to since to even have a shot at getting the financing you would probably need to have minimum of 6 months of reserves for all the fixed costs like PITI and HOA fees, if applicable, for each place, including the new one.

That would lead me to me to believe that it can in fact be based of appraised value, however both of my lenders seemed pretty clear that their delayed financing is 75% of my purchase price, and they didn't mention appraised value.2.

When it sits on it's a$$, doing nothing but getting fat (equity), it loses you money. 

Our condo was as someone put it... going to be a fat piggy bank, but we still let it go.

Its a single page sales copy webpage that just so happen to also be used by magic fat loss pills, known internet scam artist, and get rich quick schemes.

I've heard it can go a long way by being polite to them; addressing them as Mr or Mrs; & finding common interests...all salesmanship.I also know someone who has better luck when his wife meets the inspectors.Well, I got a hot wife, who actually knows a bit about rehabbing (has a degree in interior design & worked for a granite wholesaler) & am contemplating her meeting the fat slobs chomping on a cigar.Has anyone had any success in inspectors letting things slide using this method?

Also, consider whether the property is a good fit for your investment strategy and financial goals.For a walkthrough.. your goal should be to uncover as much as you can in regards to the property’s condition.
