bag of pot tank full of still alive tropical fish ?!?

- I have personal experience with this :)2) How about a fish tank?  

As long as payments arrive on-time, they tend to seek bigger fish to fry, like notes going into default.So, make sure to have a "Plan B" in case you get that dreaded letter from the lender.

On a more bottom-fishing note, does anyone think their will be some good RE deals on flooded property?

The buyer pool is wonderfully small, and you're the big fish in it.The fact that the former owner saved you half the work should never be mentioned during negotiations.

Money is money regardless of the source.They were fishing with a ask of $280 and now are considering your offer.

That said I don’t know anything about your financial situation so this is why reason you don’t fish for advice on BP.

Real estate has been good to me all these years but yes there is much more to life than worrying about cash flow and rentals tenants and stuff.. keep your perspective.We live in the Jet age for 750 bucks you can be around the world in 15 to 16 hours.. all these people that get so focused on being retired or living on their rentals AS soon as they can to me they miss many of the pleasures of a rounded life.. hopefully if they do achieve their dreams they will stop and smell the roses.I had one guy on BP write me a private message one time and said I post to much and I just not have a life.my reply well maybe so from his perspective but in the last year I have been to  Isreal  Thailand Hawaii 2 times London  British Columbia to fly fish and about 12 other locations in the US ( those are primarily business) so don't let the peanut Gallery here on BP bug you !!! 

To me, $40 sounds very cheap, I paid more then that for outdoor storage on a fishing boat before.

If I have a few more hours I like to golf, kayak or fish.
