Here's the skinny....I assumed a $163K mortgage on a nice 4/2 2500sqft home in Rosamond.

I don't think my investor pants will fit a deal that skinny.

I'm just thinking a skinny fridge (30"), small dishwasher (24"), small double-basin sink (28"), and a skinny oven/range (28").

Get to know housing inspectors - they can refer lots of leads to you.Get to know the sheriff, they post Failire to pay rent notices.Be prepared to make an offer - all of my Associates keep close at hand an accordion folder with every form they need; skinny contract, blank checks, seller financing clauses, lead paint disclosures, option agreements, joint ventures forms, management agreements, long form commercial contracts, hybrid contracts, APOD form, listing agreements, Biz cards, personal "one sheet".Be ready and prepared to make an offer - understand nothing down formulas, use controlling tactics, get yourself in chain of title, make appointments, look at properties and make offers everyday. 

Can you give us a skinny on the numbers?

Does anyone here have the skinny on the best locations to buy in the Vegas area for that?

Warren buffet has a saying that goes something like this, "you can tell who's been skinny dipping, once the tide goes out".

Was a skinny deal.

This would dramatically effect the deal as we're already pretty skinny.   

They paid for it.the short and skinny is that there's little reason to clean the ductwork unless you have specific evidence that it's needed.
