:You're 23 years old, seemingly able-bodied, and you claim you can't find a job in an area (New England) with 3.9% unemployment.

Every time there was something I didn't like or someone warned me, I reacted emotionally, trying to protect my deal that was all my decision and all my fault.

And in the past, for less credit worth tenants, we take two months rent deposit, but with rents in the $2,000+/month, we're take only one month, (NY state now limits it to one month) and if we quibble over every little hole in the wall, no body gets anything back, and we'll wind up in court every time.

But over the years builders (using the strategies I previously outlined) decided that building in high risk flood zones was a good plan (AKA every beach property or property built right on large body of water including rivers) because the government will bail out the property owners which they have (kinda) and are currently in debt 20+ billion.

I also dropped the rent on the couple vacancies I have, just to get bodies in them. 

When they tried to start raising interest rates again in 2018 and began to very slowly contract some of the money supply to decrease the balance sheet the market reacted and things began to slow. 

There are the guys who will sell that buy as soon as it reacts to the upside green.

The housing market will not react.
