You should let them fall out of contract several times, then make a blood-sucking offer. 

The landlord has seemingly returned his blood pressure to a normal level.

When I need a blood test and have to fast for 8 hours, before the following morning, I am a very miserable person without my morning cup of up of coffee loaded with sugar.This is not a dating forum.

The price points are just too rich for my blood as far as investing goes.

After all you cant get blood out of a rock.Let me know how it goes,Grant

But mostly I smelled money :)I read a book once that said, "There is more honor in a well-tilled field than one soaked in blood" and I still believe it.I've just met too many people why dream about making money in real estate that turn up their noses at manual labor, even skilled labor, and think they're too good for it, JD.

But it works, simplified, like if you owed $500 to CA but paid state XX $300, then you only have to pay CA the $200 difference.CA may not be able to get blood from a turnip, but they will suck that turnip dry before they let it go.Likewise if you, say, play professional sports for a team in state XX, live in state XX, make $20,000,000 a year, play 1 out of 20 games in CA, they want that 1/20th of that two million taxed in CA...but they will give a credit for the taxes you paid in state XX according to the interstate agreement. 

People also seem to forget that even though you should buy when there's blood on the streets, few people have the guts to invest at that time.

I took the 40-hour course and got certified to do lead abatement about 15 years ago and never was interested in getting involved with lead abatement.Lead is also found in older bathtubs when lead was put in the glazing and in ceramic tile.Personally, I think lead is more dangerous than asbestos because lead causes very serious mental issues for children children where they really do become mentally handicapped vs. the b.s. about mold and even when asbestos is present in a rental unit, or commercial building the chances that the asbestos is loose enough to circulate through the air is slim to none, but there are some rare claims.

Because so far, I have not found a single thing on market in a few different localities that would meet any of the often circulated investment criteria.What parameters have shifted in your investment critera this year, and what have stayed the same?
