"buy while blood is running in the streets" -Rothschild

My Father and Grandfather are both investors so I can say its in my blood!

If you start slicing and dicing its really tempting to make each slice a little thinner.  

Since I am a buy and hold landlord , flipping is not in my blood but Iwould like to sell someday.

Certainly a strategy, but not one I would apply personally.Lastly, with the high exposure that trustee sales have received in the past 3 years and all the flip shows on TV, there are so many rookie investors out there who pay more than they should and this is just another reason why the spreads are thinner, not only at trustee sales, but at MLS listed REO's as well.

From my perspective it was way faster than going through the usual channels and I knew I wasn't going to be getting blood from that stone anyways.

It's becoming clear to me that figuring out accurate estimates are a result of blood, tears, sweat, and hard work.

It's impossible to get blood from a rock.Try to get a warm lead on your next PM from someone who is satisfied with whoever they are using.HM
