I don't mean sending the tenant a reminder and receiving from them a promise from the heart, a notarized affidavit of intent, a blood oath on their children's eyes that yes, they will be out on such-and-such a date and time.

It’s in my blood.....

There are only 2 ways to deal with a downturn: keep your powder dry and when you see blood in the streets, buy!

Money can change people, and you don't want to find yourself in a position where you find yourself putting in blood sweat and tears into the property rehabbing it/managing it and feeling like you are being short changed because your friend "promised" you a x% cut of the deal.

And, finally, VA loans w/ 0% down have lower default rates than FHA 3.5% down, almost as low as conventional 20% down (turns out that "down payments" of sweat and blood are about as sure-thing as down payments of cash). 

Every year you have to pay roughly $1000 for the licensing and refresher courses as well as more money for the blood testing every 3 months.

You'll see people doing things on YouTube that can get you electrocuted or slinging a whole lotta blood in a hurry.

A lot of blood, sweat and tears.

They did BLOOD red on the walls AND ceiling, and partially painted all the woodwork BLACK lol.

I have family members that I wouldn't invest 5 cents with them if they signed a blood oath.
