@Mark B. oddly enough having given blood before through the Red Cross qualified me.

It's probably growing because the house was empty and the air was not given a chance to circulate. 

That's ok.Basically what you're seeing is sharks circling the smell of blood in the water.

You can try to get blood out of a rock and recover money from her, but from a kharma standpoint it is just bad energy.

So even starting out a step ahead of others, it still takes a long time, blood, sweat, and tears.If you're looking for reasonable time lines for someone who isn't currently involved in real estate (and I admittedly don't know your full story either, so maybe you are involved with real estate in some fashion currently), I'd say it'll take 12 years to build a solid business you can live off of, if you did it 24/7/365 for all of those years. 

My mother hires a second listing agent. the guy claims to be an investor and flipper, and seems a lot more knowledgeable than the last agent, but I think when an out of state woman inherits a free and clear home in an opportune location with incredibly high holding costs, everyone smells a little blood in the water... hell i would...

I don't generally find it advantageous to try to squeeze every drop of blood out of a rock, as you then start pushing up vacancy rates, having much fewer qualified tenants, etc. 

Looking back, they weren't so ridiculous,but I learned how to better assess estimates as we put in blood, sweat, and tears ourselves so that was worth it.

Anyone can get high blood lead levels, the law only specifies under 6 because it affects the developing brain more severely then a it affects a fully developed brain.

I'm in New Berlin right now which is a bit too rich for my blood at this point, but it got me considering Milwaukee more if I found a better neighborhood that had a bit cheaper homes.
