If the boxes don't check right they will give you a big fat REJECT.I'm working a job in land development consulting, have rentals, property management and other side ventures. 

I love an Americano with room for full fat cream!

We just haven't gone to war, had an earthquake, a nuclear disaster, a 'fat finger', banks gone wild, etc, for the last couple years so its been rosy.  

I want less debt not more.. and Vegas will stand on its own.. or pay cash there.. but pressing very hard for me to get that big loan so they could make a fat fee  LOL...

Yeah carpet smells nice and new for a few months until tenants get that dog and cat they say they don't have and start cooking pork fat every day.

So yes it's slowing down, some fat is being trimmed off larger co's, etc.

And, the cyberspace is teaming up with all kinda information FREELY and READILY available, so why pay a fat cat to "teach" me yet down deep I know that if HE/SHE was successful he/she woulda never been teaching, he/she woulda been out in the field shoveling money left and right.

Certainly that makes as much sense as paying farmers to plow their tomatoes under or feeding fat kids pizza and french fries for lunch under the federal nutritional lunch program at school.Because they are scarce and in such high demand, the risk of owning and operating inexpensive rental houses is almost non­existent.

Plus there is more supply of condos and nicer condos.I like the idea of either putting a ton down on an investment or paying cash becuase everyone says "insert bad thing here" will never happen ... until it does and your standing there being forced to take less rent while you have a fat mortgage you are having to subsidize with a regular job which is negitive cash flow.I have 40k saved now which will go towards the primary residence and then another 120k worth of raw land I can sell (estate just sold some like lots so I am pretty confident I can get at least 120k). 

Kind of like the person with a fat 401K.
