A good lesson to always use gloves, safety glasses and maybe a mask too when doing this in the future.Sorry to tell you but that blue liquid was smurf blood.

If a shark even thinks they smell blood they go for it not really that hard or impressive to get investors to call you on a craigslist ad lol.

I am a commercial real estate broker as well as an investor.I would say what has made me successful is the WILL to never QUIT.When I get on a workout machine I go for an hour doing cardio.Most will do 15 minutes,some 30,a few 45,hardly any will go 60.When I run a marathon my mind wants to quit before the body but I push on.The last part of finishing takes the most mental toughness and a will not to quit.You will need this skill in real estate.Making a deal happen will be like being on a roller coaster with many highs and lows.It has taken me a year to close a deal before.When I was assembling land deals I had to talk to the owners sometimes 50 times and it took 6 months to agree to terms and get under contract for the developer I was working with.It will take a lot of time and blood,sweat and tears in the beginning but it will build toughness and character.Remember if it was easy anyone would do it.Their is competition in EVERYTHING you do.You have to find something you enjoy and then strive everyday to be the best at it.Work it like a business and constantly gain more knowledge and develop systems to maximize your time.When I close a hard deal that takes a long time I get a great satisfaction that I made a deal work that many would have just quit on.

You might be right in the case of a really crap tenant out for blood...but then again we have to think of what action got him to that point of seeking revenge to go to such an extreme requiring such effort.I have low income tenants and I have never once owned a building where the tenant supplied/paid for heat.

How tremendously int’resting that is – to you.He built up the thing with the blood of his life?

To me this is a small peace premium to pay relative to blood and guts of young folks and the upheaval of war on our soil.

Lots of good new blood on here.

Hi Charles,There's a lot of blood, sweat, and tears behind that experience.

The situation will remain challenging till such time finance which is the life blood of property remains tight.

Dragons can smell blood for over 2 miles according to the Park Ranger.
