At that point I hope you have a good fat security deposit because that’s what I would use to reimburse myself for the unpaid utilities.

When we close, it’s not a fat check like other clients might get a realtor buying a fixed up home.

We have had plumbing issues in the past from cooking oils/fats etc.

Lead paint is a big fat no.

Full of fat promises, does not deliver on any of them.

I asked about renovations because if you don't have a lot of Money to make deals work, the Money is in the ugly ^^You know the fat girl you never looked at in school?

Interestingly enough we we cleaned out her stuff from the house there was a DEEP FAT FRYER IN THE ATTIC WITH OIL IN IT.

The big, fat, easy wins are getting harder to find but as a real estate investor, I am in it for the long haul.

That fat check every month may look great, but when compared to the amount of equity you have in the property, the return is often dismal.
