You can spend your time in worse ways, like watching some silly movie. 

(+1 sub)speaking of uncut gems. it's interesting that was the movie you were going to watch, given your situation. can't really compare RE to gsmbling, but the guy had heart and wouldn't give up for nothing. great job on persevering thru this storm! 

What no one has yet mentioned is the movie industry.

Maybe I could convert my garage to a movie theater or something?

Most of the US real estate market has seen inventory continue to rise with a lot of relisting and stale dated listings, but Valdosta seems to be a “Great White Buffalo” (if you get the movie reference).

And believe me, banks care more about PR than a celebrity on at a movie premiere.  

Ya gotta play out the scenario all the way to the end instead of "getting up and leaving early because the earlier part of the movie is too slow and boring".I see you have the Easy-Excel spreadsheet.

Some amenities are crucial and obvious (pots and pans, plates, linens, good Wi-Fi), some are unnecessary and obviously so (personal movie theater with arcade game room), but the trickier amenities lie in the 2 middle zones.What are some necessary amenities that you might overlook? 

Will Movie theatres exist in the future?  

Home Alone is your favorite Xmas movie.
