I wound up buying move in ready (or livable where it could qualify for a conventional loan). 

Beyond my work, I support the Joshua Chamberlain Society, adopting fallen and wounded military heroes and their families, Veteran’s Community Project, which offers transitional housing and training on re-integration.

We've all gone home at the end of a 'deal-gone-wrong', licking our wounds....well. at least I have.Maybe think about partnering with her, create an official K1 partnership, or start an LLC or S Corporation with you both as officers....?

At the same time, many hosts and investors jumped into STRs during this same time period which created an excess of supply in many travel destinations that wound up saturating those markets.

I almost purchased in there for my daughter but she wound up attending somewhere else.  

I perhaps naively went ahead with the registration and inspection after completing purchase of the home, and wound up with a hefty repairs bill of around 3k.

In the past it seems like the problems in Detroit have been dealt with in a very-very cursive or superficial way, almost like putting a band aid on an extremely bad an open wound-- not enough has been done to fix the problems.

They'll be licking their wounds, albeit piercing wounds not deep one's. 

My greatest pain point is not that the deals failed, although that certainly adds salt to the wounds, it's the poor communication, false narratives, chasing (almost begging) for updates, lack of full disclosure, the smoke and mirrors, etc.

I wound up not doing any BRRRRs or flips OOS.
