Personally, I think that for most of us in the investing world, the road to the first 10-20 doors will be marked with a great deal of blood, sweat and tears.

They are looking for blood.

The reality is that vulnerable includes people with asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, smokers and people fighting any number of diseases.

This is true if they are married, dating, or just friends.When renting to three or more individuals that are not related by blood or marriage, then I increase my standards so that each individual makes at least 2x the rent and has a credit score of 650.

It’s in my blood to be an entrepreneur, ever since 4th grade I started selling chocolates in school, and escalated to selling junk food, like chips and soda, all throughout middle school and high school, while also working part time.

You can't squeeze blood from a turnip.
