@Peter Vekselman  was not insinuating your a wannabee wholesaler my point was I could  see wanna be wholesalers not running title and getting fubared at the end.I just bought one in Charleston again exact same issue.. wholesaler brings it to me... we decide on price.. only to find out the lady owed more than what they were selling me the house for .. they were bummed  what they thought was a fat deal turned out not to be I still bought it but at my terms not theirs. 

I constantly crunch the numbers almost monthly to see how much money I am making when including the amazing increase in the property's value each time I raise the rent and I do my math over and over so that I am excited and I can do the math in my head.So, when the tenant spit in my face my mathematical mind went into overdrive and this irate tenants idiotic move that resulted in an eviction just earned me a big fat paycheck.

No fat or moss growing on our butts!

That fat little envelope in my pocket brings me joy and warms the cockles of my aging heart.Now granted, I'm clearly a lot more steeped in sin than a lot of users of this website.

IMO, that is a small price to pay in order to double or triple my investments (plus, the extra cash flow per month beats the big fat goose egg I got every month from my Vanguard Roth IRA and brokerage account). 

Those two complexes we are spinning our wheels and we need to cut the fat.  

What has always worked in good times and bad, and what this COVID left bleeding, and what's getting fat now.

On the other hand, I get big fat goose bumps over a relatively simple $55K purchase, $10K rehab, $90k appraisal, refi most of my money back out and $1050 monthly rent.

Many people look for THE BEST "diet," and when they don't see results after a week or two or three, they become Internet junkies and switch from the low-fat diet to the low-carb diet, to paleo, to ketogenic, to vegan... and ultimately get frustrated and give up.

Insurers would charge more for high risks (fat, smoke).
