But I have a huge heart to give.

Fast forward...son moves away...owner has a heart attack.  

The price should equal the product you provide, so if you have a studio in the heart of the city with in unit laundry not far from a hospital this is desirable, the price is higher.

I believe that if we buy in the right neighborhood (gentrifying but not quite there yet, close to public transportation into the heart of Boston) that the rents today will allow us to hold it for a few years until rents and prices start to appreciate.

:)  But if I could be  a guru and get paid I would do it in a heart beat making a 5 to 10 mil  a year for putting my face up there and speaking a few times would be appealing... and I could care less what anyone on BP would think I would be too busy thinking about how to invest my money..

Its been a while sicne I have been to Seattle but for some reason I vist Chicago often and it steal my heart every time. 

There must be a heart, passion, and love for what you're doing!

Owning that building is not for the faint of heart.

Pointing out what they've done, over explaining  yourself and attempting to come across as doing them a favor before flat out doing what's necessary, is just prolonging the inevitable.Take your heart out of it. 

Similar to a person, but just without a heart beat.
