Or, if they didn''t trash it, they subdivided it for a colony of bees and painted it what can best be described as neon beige. MORE

Some investors bailed at the last minute because (we believe) they had experienced real estate losses elsewhere. As a seed stage investor, I know the math. Half the companies I invest in won’t provide a financial return. Another forty percent or so will go sideways a bit, and the last ten percent will drive most of the gains for my investors.
