You've got to deal a few slim deals like this to get to the point that you don't need HML, but if that's the only way to get a decent deal done, then jump in.

I'm visiting the unit next week as details were slim on website.  

THERE IS NO TRY.Tell that to Elon Musk.It's DO or you fail and LEARN.And some things are worth doing even if the chances of success are slim.

Pretty slim deal.

I would bet this is slim.
