That takes out the high end flips and the big fat juicy margins I hear about, but it provides us with a comfort level.

I broker deals with my buyer clients making 6 figures per transaction so for me to syndicate the deal has to be really fat on the back end.

So I would say 99% chance you get a big fat ZERO interest.   

I didn’t want it to be too lengthy so I trimmed some fat.  

More than enough to live out the rest of my life “fat FI”.

These "come with the package" and are part of the deal;  I do not get directly compensated for that time investment.However, when you are repairing something that a tenant broke due to abuse, or cleaning their vacant unit because they did not clean it as stipulated in our signed contract,  That does not make any sense.From a tax standpoint, that revenue I receive by doing it myself (and charging the tenant for my time) is taxable revenue, so I don't see where it is "double dipping" (which is what I think the courts sometimes claim).I have so fat avoided this issue by having the tenants sign a "move out charge sheet" that itemizes estimates on damages/repairs made (I apologize for the formatting issues). 

That being said, we and I suspect many others bought number one with insufficient reserves.You are the only one who knows how much money you have coming in and out and how thin or fat your margins are.Personally, we closed yesterday.

No dude, Just be normal and you will stand out like a friggin neon metallic green fat fly on a white piece of turd!

I provided three comps and filled out a form my lender provided and the appraiser adjusted it to 425 and sighted a "fat finger error".

See, I didn't wake up one day and decided i was going to be an agent, spend weeks/ months sorting out REI, and then just cash fat checks.
