Worst investment was in 1998 starting a restaurant from scratch, a whole lot of blood sweat & tears went into it.

Blood, sweat, and tears?

Lots of people look at the profits and don't see the blood, sweat, and tears that go into it. 

The reason larger dogs make the top of the bite list is because when a small dog such as a Chihuahua is aggressive and bites you, even drawing blood, they're not typically reported because it's small in relation to a human. 

I come from an investor family, so it was in my blood and I knew it was the path I wanted to take.

How about the blood, sweat, and tears that the hustle it took to find and execute this sweetheart of a deal took? 

Unfortunately, I learned about how the majority of real estate investors work the hard way....by putting in countless hours of blood, sweat, and tears - trusting they mean what they say and say what they mean...

After that  experience, I have a greater sense of what to look for and an appreciation for quality in a PM.I will gladly pay more for a high quality PM as it is the life and blood of a Buy and Hold investor.

You will have more control, realistic safeguards (ever tried to get blood from a turnip?

As someone nearing retirement I intend to keep my MF for the cash flow, however, if I were younger this would be a great time to sell and take advantage of the low cap rates and then wait for the cycle to turn and get back in when there is once again "blood in the streets".
