I've ramped up efforts to buy more lots, but it's blood sport to get the right dirt, at the right place, at the right price. 

I don't want there to be any bad blood.

They're broke so suing them is like trying to get blood from a stone. 

Great point on listing responsibilities out - the last thing I'd want is for there to be any bad blood over a deal where both sides were trying to help each other out. 

Hello Everyone,New blood here by way of Foxboro, Massachusetts (Go Pats).

You don't pay the rate of a heart surgeon to have your blood pressure taken, even if that doc takes it, his surgery rates are different.

A bunch of old fogies who want to keep things status quo and old school or new young blood wanting to grow the city??

If you don't have a crack management team in place then I would expect there to be some blood in the water in the next couple of years. 

Many of these properties have self-service lock boxes with a small set of codes in circulation.

sorry guys.There is no formal definition.You can normally tell based on the number of deals, the details they understand and other things.They have likely shed a bit of blood on past deals and have the scares to prove it.Call it experience if you like.You will know it when you see it.John Corey
