I think this is a bigger "every market is different" thing than pretty much anything else.I honestly believe that every market will have big fat deals if you look long and hard enough.With new construction there is going to be a rule of thumb for the costs (around me it is $100-150/sqft) so you have a rough idea of what it will cost to build and you should have a feeling for what houses will sell for of that size and whatever room makeup you decide on.

:)I say this completely out of sarcasm but I think that the gun manufacturers sent a nice fat check to the politicians and media to start spilling out all this crap about the need for gun control and removal of assault rifles from our society.

I will think of you the next time I find a sweet deal that needs a fat wallet!

I'd give them a big fat rent credit for November, letting them know now.

It is always important to remember, pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered.

I personally think that the future of Real Estate is 2/1/1's and 2/2/1's - so that's what I would buy.You can collect the dividends while you wait, take the capital appreciation when it comes, and then patiently look for fat RE pitches.

Who knows, may be I'll be on vacation in the bahamas one day and the tenant has a broken dishwasher and he/she may repay my kindness by waiting a few extra days (yeah, fat chance).So my approach of not being too harsh on a strike #1 has bit me on my *** because some saw this as a weakness.I like the idea of a post dated check for several months.

@Stephen Turner they make a version of iMovie for the iPhone (free, btw) but the interface is wayyyyy to small for my fat fingers, although the same app on iPad is much easier to use.

Great points raised by Zoran.Those figures do look great but if there really was that much fat in the deal I don't believe it would be going to an out of state investor.Local investors would snap that up all day, everyday.Sorry, I am just being the devils advocate here :(Thanks and have a great day.

OR, you could pay somebody to do those mundane desk job tasks and do what you enjoy doing rather than sitting on your butt getting fat...
