The economy and RE could brake either way.  

I would wait until you have a better idea of any other damage.It is hard to prove if the heat caused this to brake or they broke it.

It will take almost 2 years to get to brake even.Except it is more of a buyers market, I would consider selling it. 

I love the enthusiasm and optimism, but it’s those same traits that also make me tap the brakes.

But just a reminder rates are not 2.5% anymore, they're 7% and home prices rose 50% since you purchased so that might put the brakes on 0% down cashflowing properties.

There is always the possibility of the pirates braking into the property and vandalizing or stealing the appliances.I would suggest that the first real offer is the best offer.  

I'm aware of the risks and that's a big part of me pumping the brakes on buying anything.

The single-family market feels like it’s hit the brakes—demand has dropped, homes are staying on the market longer, and sellers are starting to adjust expectations.

Be proud of what you have set in place but pump the brakes, get a job and reassess when your finances are more stable.

“Reserves” in a TIC are more than a rainy-day jar—they’re the brake and the seatbelt that keep co-owners from white-knuckle cash calls or hard choices at the worst possible time.In practice I size reserves off three inputs: the operating profile, building and systems, and the lease/tenant risk.
