Also my advice is to not loot the guns that drop right away if you don't need the ammo. Leave the Lotus Blossom and go to Tseng's. Sell him the Brokk 17c and get around $100 or so (the amount depends upon your haggle skill). Go back to the Lotus Blossom and the guns are still lying there. Loot one more and repeat. You can do this until all the guns are gone. With around 20 or so gangsters in there that adds up to almost $2000!! not bad. Also you will notice the girls respawn as well even if you killed all of them. This trick also works in the Glaze, which is the club you go to after the ambush at the warehouse. I hope this helps you all.Tips for money and free blood (SPOILER)

Tips for money and free blood (SPOILER)
This isn't really a cheat but it is something that is exploitable without resorting to using the console and can net you a good amount of money for free as well as access to a free source of blood. (Note this is only good once you are in Chinatown.) Once you have killed all of the tong in the lotus blossom, free the girl that was kidnapped and left you can re-enter the Lotus Blossom at any time thereafter and it is still considered a combat zone but with no combat. This means you are free to drain or partially drain the girls there without fear of losing humanity or violating the masquerade. Also my advice is to not loot the guns that drop right away if you don't need the ammo. Leave the Lotus Blossom and go to Tseng's. Sell him the Brokk 17c and get around $100 or so (the amount depends upon your haggle skill). Go back to the Lotus Blossom and the guns are still lying there. Loot one more and repeat.

Aren't you the fiendishly bold one? I'd had plans to test some of those theories for about six weeks, but I tend to be a bit of a straight-arrow. Thanks.

Yeah, I noticed that bathhouse was a free source of blood. Sexy outfits, too.
Some other places to get free blood are:
In Santa Monica, the bail bonds guy is all alone in his office, so after his quests....
In Downtown, I can't think of any good ones that aren't obvious. The lady that runs the nightclub takes you up to her office twice, you can have a snack then if you like.
In Hollywood, the clerk at the hotel and the owner of the porn emporium are handy and alone.
These people can be fed on but not drained - if you feed on them before their quest is done, sometimes they will stay asleep for awhile and you have to wait in the room with them until they wake up, but they will still do the quests correctly.
In Chinatown, the yakuza nightclub also stays open and combat-zoned and has some patrons hanging around after you clean it out - whoops, I see you got that one. You can also feed on but not drain other humans that are alone, like the Gift Shop guy, the Restaurant quest-giver in the 2nd floor office, the Hengeyaki hunter etc.

I explained the Lotus money shack weeks ago - also it is important that you do NOT have a brock when you go in there - or you will pick up ammo.
To repeat my previous advice - move the guns around so that they are far enough apart that when you pick up one, you don't reduce the other to ammo.
I was doing that last night and counted about 9 brocks - the other guns are cheap and not worth the bother.
In Glaze - watch out for the Killmatics - they fetch the best price - so make sure that you don't turn any of them to ammo by keeping well away if you have one already.
gun-running gives you enough money to buy anything you could realistically need.
as for blood dolls - the Lotus is best and saves boosting your seduction enough to get it on with the girl in the Red Dragon. she is really demanding.
