Off of cholesterol and off of blood pressure medication.   

*Much* thinner than even many professionals realize.

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.

Valuable lesson to the son in law and the CEO investor will likely still be willing to work with you in the future.It's a tough situation and makes my blood boil hearing someone screwing over family and one I would probably want to have a heart to heart with the person first.

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'm sure they'd rather be robbed by a nameless, faceless internet scammer than their own flesh and blood.

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..   

For me though 08 to 2011 was an event I never saw in the previous 30 years in the business there was some regional blood letting.. many don't realize but the SF bay area right after the earthquake and war some high end homes dropped 50% even in the pristine areas.. so its happened.. but on a national scale 08 hopefully was a once in a lifetime event. 

Blood in the streets.
