Too rich for my blood.

I’ve done very well on rough streets, but that money is hard earned and comes with a lot of blood, sweat and tears.

Keeps the blood pressure down and you get a "look what I made" sense of accomplishment.

Before this business venture, I worked as a W2 contractor in the oil and gas industry for more than 20 years, and I can tell you that the average mark up in that industry are often closer to 200% so the margins are much thinner in the residential construction business.If you would like a bid just to know if the prices that you are receiving are fair let me know, and I'll be glad to help.

You guys are all sharks, out for buyers’ blood.

We spent that time pouring our blood, sweat, and tears (all literal) into the property, and recently listed it for sale prior to our military move.

:) Always good to have new blood (and opinions and experience).

yes. you get a copy of it and you can do whatever you want. but most of the time it will just sit in your files while the next lender does their own appraisal.that whole aspect of RE is so wacked, dont even get me started. how can they accurately assess the property if they ALREADY know the signed purchase agreement if beyond me. gets my blood boiling..

But you solve that by having them send you written communications involving everything but blood, flood or fire.  

Managed to hold onto the property through blood sweat and tears but then ended up selling it after 8 years and not really minding being a renter for a while now :)  Even though I want to own rental properties I'm hesitant to get into an (expensive) property for ourselves as it's just a lot to bite off and risk.
