Although the injuries from the current housing 'correction' and 'bubble' in other areas are not as severe as those inflicted in 2008 there will be pain and some suffering. https://fortune.com/2022/10/21...At most risk are more recent home owners, specifically first time homebuyer's that took advantage of lower lending rates, but at increased asset valuations, many with limited down payments and even more limited disposable income and reserve liquid assets.

I've live on no other income and I am still in horrible pain almost all the time.

The barrier to entry is painfully low, and it's seen as "easy money" by many.It's sad how many people are not properly represented by these so called "professionals".

It was painfully clear I'm searching for ____ in ____ neighborhoods between this $$$ amount.

Just stay consistent, find peoples pain points and see if you can help them.

Historic permits can be a pain in the *** and can add extra time to rehabs.

This tenant has been a pain in the *** and high maintenance from the get go, but we are stuck with them.  

However, I would still ask it because it may highlight a pain point for the seller.

I haven't actually subdivided land, but I have appealed for several other things and I have found that municipalities will generally try to work with you if you are doing things that they see as helpful and if you aren't a pain for them (being rude or demanding).
