In my 12 years of being a veterinarian and working at ERs, I see just as many bite wound injuries from Pit bulls as with Chihuahuas.

Remember you make your money on the "Buy" not the sale (time heals all wounds but it’s not a strategy or reason to pay too much for a real estate).

If it's an absolute bust you can sell, lick your wounds and crush it with what you know now.

I wound up just turning it into the police.

Renovate and give away 2 fully flipped homes to combat wounded veterans or gold star families. 3.

Don't shoot the messenger :)   And if you want an organization to help true people in need - donate to Wounded Warriors.  

The great recession, or ==the even greater, real estate depression==  of 2008-2010 was the biggest real estate failure, probably of our lifetimes.But the cause of this was really a broken lending system, that wounded itself by writing poor quality mortgages.

Wound up doing it myself over two trips, 2 hours the 1st time, an hour the 2nd time, and two hours time off from my IT business. 

I think the wounds of Covid to the economy are the same.

The second house the seller was not forth coming at all and it wound up needing serious plumbing repairs and it needed a roof.
