There is a wealth of knowledge right at your finger tips. 

We have our fingers crossed that the property increases in value by $300K.

Fingers crossed i can get this from the lender.

Bird dog fees are a fingers crossed trust game - you hope to get paid but you never know if you will since there is not any legal obligation.  

Maybe not a smart idea, but I criss fingers for appreciation!

I've actually lost feeling in my finger tips from being on a computer the past year, no really big deal,  I'm also getting a pain in the elbow as well, as they say, suck it up, no pain no gain.Perhaps that might be why I don't type with wine and roses, just a few hundred more words that new, sensitive, folks expect being coddled as the babes entering the business world think they are entitled to. 

In contrast, with syndications, I must admit it is really nice to get funds ACH'd right into my account like clockwork without lifting a finger.
