We'll need three years of tax returns and the blood of a virgin unicorn.

Of course, what warm blooded male would not want a lambo in the garage!

I will wait to avoid any bad blood.

Save your blood pressure and thick skin!

You may need to shop quite a while, plan on rehab or wait until market conditions favor buyers (then be brave because buying when there is blood in the streets is scary).

The more complex things get compared to that "baseline," the more appealing it likely is (this is probabilities game) to work with someone that isn't forced to take the table scraps from a marketing department, because they're able to bring it in the door with things such as their competence, or other attributes/deliverables.A company I once worked for was recently purchased by a big discount real estate brokerage, I stay in touch with my old colleagues (there's no bad blood or anything).

By related, I mean that I would count a married couple or blood relatives as one person and then I would allow one unrelated person.

You need to have real estate pumping through your blood (or at least it gets your blood pumping) or it might not be your cup of tea.

I believe for a neighborhood to change for the better, it takes new blood, people that come from the outside and who are going to be houseproud and who want to protect this new investment and who are looking at it with new eyes.I really believe that Pittsburgh has a ton of potential, because of location (2 miles south of Downtown, right on 75/85 and 20, right next to the Beltline, but that it will only be able to get better with major change, like the Beltline and property values going up, because people move in and speak up.

Hopefully we can share enough so that you and others can learn without earning all the scares directly.Bleeding edge implies scares and some blood loss.
