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. 

what do you thinkSure, PA state law requires that the sheriff sale be advertised in newspapers that are in circulation in the county of the sale - but the sheriff is the party putting those ads in the newspaper.

That situation could be fine as long as everyone is incredibly clear about the professional distinctions, but it can still create bad blood if something were to go not as planned, at your risk of incurring unexpected vacancy.

There's specific knowledge that can only come with ownership - buying and selling as a broker doesn't make up for the blood, sweat, tears, triumphs, and lessons learned of ownership specific to a jurisdiction. 

Just checked the total US money in circulation M2, increased from 15.5 trillion end of 2019 to about 18.4 trillion, roughly 20% in the first 5 month of 2020.

@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

No spirits can stay once you speak the word of God and the blood of Jesus.

I am forecasting a lot of blood in the streets in the next year or two. 

., so there is always new blood to arrive as those who have cashed out, or spun out, drift away.In the context of 50-100 years compared to other global cities, I don't take the "exodus" talk too seriously here b/c as soon *you* or *I* don't see value in it, someone younger, or more enterprising arrives and does see value in it.
