@Pete Harper, I understand your conundrum, but there are few things I love better than a fat little greasy wad of cash sitting pretty in my hot little hand, stinking of sin.

Driving around I spotted a house in a decent neighborhood that had a fat FOR SALE sign in the front yard and a phone number but it's not a broker sign. 

C'mon, like our govt overlords like to say it can happen to any of us - Unless you're a public employee that can sit home at full pays in sweats for eight months of COVID and look forward to a fat retirement check I'm funding. 

All of us also know we are operating under pretty slim margins as is and aren’t all fat cats counting our stacks but that is how we are viewed by many.  

You have to make it worth their while to "settle for" a drip-feed return father than their rightful big fat return up front.ie. 

"pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered". 

Right, 150s/f at 2200 living space = $330,000 construction + land acquisition. 

A mini split with hyperheat doesn't have a heat strip and doesn't hit COP 1 (the same efficiency as baseboard heat) until below 5°F. At

Fat Village emerged, etc, etc....I bet they're over $300k now.

The deal needs to have enough fat in it to work for everyone.
