Sometimes we fall a little short, sometimes we fall very short, and throughout the entire process...our books look like we are 1-2 missteps away from going belly up. 

Get a contractor who is licensed and knows the planning desk guys belly to belly.

oil touched similar (low) numbers back in early 2016, but rebounded by that summer. this was followed by mass layoffs at devon and chesapeake (which will go belly up at some point) and sandridge going belly up (look like they're trading around a buck right now, so bk#2 is def. possible). do you recall what happened in RE market back then?

Be sure the juice is worth the squeeze!

That’s absurd truth of the matter is they aren’t that difficult to install yourself. you should’ve asked the salesperson for a glass of Orange juice with that price and season tickets to the Yankees!

That is where the juice really lies.

If I recommended you drink 64 ounces of prune juice, is that good advice?

I really like a term I lifted a while ago from @Steve Vaughan, "deal belly to belly with these people."

As an OOS investor the juice just isn't worth the squeeze for me.

If you're not built to survive in this game, go buy bonds or precious metals or orange juice futures.
