Anyone seen True Blood on HBO at first I thought another stupid Vamp show now I really look forward to the next episode."

Hi, just curious why you’re interested in SF multi family given: you’re based in LA, rent control is practically a blood sport in SF, and direct local experience is crucial in navigating the myriad nuances.

Money and blood don't mix, they are like oil and water only far more caustic.

What we thought were previously rust stains were actually most likely blood stains.

This Tiger Woods drama is nothing I really care about, but the announcement that he is giving up golf is what gets my blood boiling.

Like @Joel Owens said, can't get blood from a turnip.

In my opinion, you had greater risks to deal with being an electrician (electrocution, falling off of a ladder, house catching on fire, etc.) than being an real estate investor but you overcame those risks with blood, sweat, tears, knowledge and experience.If you do choose to pursue RE then, in time, those fears and concerns will also be replaced with both knowledge and wisdom.

Quick update:  one of my fully subsidized tenants had their subsidy reduced from 100% to about 50%...that's pretty cold-blooded of CHA to do this right before the holidays :( .

That said, access to cash is the life blood of a real estate developer so make sure you learn as much as you can about how deals are put together and structured.  

I like the sector except some are staying away from the acute places as medicare or Medicaid (can't remember which one) will be squeezing payouts and affecting bottom lines making them thinner with more regulatory control.So different ages sectors of senior living are more desirable over others from investing standpoints.
