I was using my marketing software to purchase lots of discounted properties instead of really figuring out how to truly help the sellers.Lesson Learned: I learned the hard way that your mission statement shouldn’t be a plack on the wall, it should be the blood that moves your company.

demographics change lots of things can happen in that industry just like any industry.. and for sure burnt out landlords create opportunity for new blood coming in.  

Blood in the streets.  

It’s in my blood and despite the anxiety of the down times- I love it.

  :)there are turn key operators in Japan.. you can buy rentals there for 30 to 50k that meet the 1% rule or more.. they will live there a life time and you have next to zero issues with those tenants compared to the US tenant base.. they are respectful of authority.. just look at pictures of fukishima and NO looting no rioting. all lined up nicely to get water.. then look at pictures of New Orleans during Katrina.. it was a free for all blood bath on many levels..   

@Deisy P if i can self-manage a duplex in a C neighborhood for 17 years (through tears,blood and sweat), as a single, Black, deaf woman. 

Real estate gets in your blood.

Blood would flow Jerry, ever seen a 82yr old beat a 30-something unconscious with a walker, well, the above is how ya do that.

Like the sideliners, who are waiting for the market to crash - and don't realize that if buying scares you now, you won't buy when blood is in the streets.Renters are the biggest losers.

I may be wrong but I'm not smelling blood in the water and interest rate increases are already squeezing profit margin and making houses that would have cash flowed last year losers today and bigger losers tomorrow.
