Plus, that rush you feel in the depths of your belly when you knock on a stranger's door to talk to them about their woes is better than jumping out of an airplane.If you go the door knocking route, be aware that most people will not be home, so leaving a bulky package with a handwritten note also got me a decent response.

"Junk Mail" or as I like to call it "Belly Touches" When we get out mail we grab it with boths hands and use our bellies to hold it as we sort through it...

Purchasing Countrywide did as much to save Bank of America, whose stock would have taken a massive hit if Countrywide went belly up, as it did Angelo Mozillo (who nows gets to avoid the possibility of jailtime if the company did crash and declare bankruptcy).

:D I too want the sweatshirt but is it possible to get a Double XX Fat.

So, I thought it might be a good idea, rather than getting "fat and happy" to mitigate my risk and hunt for additional opportunities.

One of my main concerns would be once the building inspector starts poking his fat snout around that I would have to get the wiring, this, that, or the other "up to code".

In my market, they asses a 25-35k at a value of 70-75k, in an effort to drive up the tax base to pay their nice fat pensions.

.), they can often offer several concessions to the borrower, such as pay their closing costs, because the lender is paying the broker a fat little bonus for selling the higher rate, which makes the note much more valuable on the secondary market (yeah, selling the mortgage to somebody else for a premium) or as a portfolio loan (the lender services the loan and enjoys all that extra interest).

Kelly I looked at recruiting agent for my firm years ago.At one point I did an active campaign and had about 45 agents at my firm at one time.I have found most agents feel entitled or won't follow the steps you tell them to be successful.They will skip some steps because they are lazy and want to "get rich quick" like the rest of the population which is why so many fail.If I add an agent say on a 70/30 split then I have to take time from my own deals where I make 100 percent to make 30 with them.The training and getting over their mindset takes so much more time than me doing my own deals.This is why I have only 7 agents right now.I got rid of the rest.Many companies try the 100 percent model but you get either new agents having no experience,part-time agents who are rusty,child support demands,irs tax liens,license lapses for education and or non-payment of dues etc.It is a huge headache to keep up with for a low return.If you go the other route you can train new agents for a fat split before they leave the business or train a select few agents that you want to feed leads to on your team.I just focus now on my own investment purchases and my own commercial listings.

You win as I'm short and WAS extremely fat.
