I've cut some pretty fat checks to people that have brought me big deals. 

Follow the facts.Obesity is FAT people.

Go flip 10 of these great equity properties, make half a mill, and go throw that at 2m+ worth of high yielding rental property that doesn't come with a fat project associated. 

I've only known one traveling nurse my entire life and she's a fat disgusting deadbeat pig I wouldn't want in any of my rentals - especially for a short stay.

After awhile, when we acquired enough homes and the reserve account got pretty fat, I've been less worried about this since it is highly improbable that all homes become vacant for one year at the same time; aside from that, only about 30% of our portfolio has any leverage on it - the rest is cash-owned, so the homes themselves are reserves of capital should the need arise.

I have a protein shake for breakfast, chicken salad (with low fat mayo and mustard) for lunch, and whatever my wife cooks for dinner.

It's like the concept of "fat FIRE" which I'm trying to follow as well.

Look into almond growing. 

All outlets and switches to be replaced from almond color to white.

So keep fat margins in all of your estimates.
