Blood is dripping down.

HouseHacking is in our blood and has been hugely profitably for my family’s financial life.

Or people wash blood off cars at your place and leaving off evidence w/o paying you....location, location, location

Rehabbed them with shoddy contractors, my husband, my friends, children who I pay and teach the skills, and lots of blood, sweat, and tears. :-)

I live off of my residential rentals -- and I've started writing about the ups and downs just for the fun, the blood and the guts of it all...I totally agree.

@Chuy GonzalezI am 1 for 1 getting burned by section 8 tenant costing me $7000 total with lesson learned. 12 years and first bad blood bath
