I would imagine that a successful investor like the  OP is not looking to "add someone".

I can't imagine the short-term private rates, and the personal loan rates are much different right now. 

Can you imagine if they took the tax write offs away from investors who have 50 or more..

This means you would have to drive by 10,000 homes, and review each home to look for different signs of distress.Now imagine that it takes on average 10 seconds (some homes may take 1 second, while others may take 120 seconds) to quickly look at each home for physical distress.

You should be able to prep and pour the footers on the days you have occupancies. 

It will probably take a few generations, I can not imagine that we re-define the working structure of our society in a few years and without casualties.So the question to me is basically how do we want to be positioned as real estate investors when that change starts?

Can you imagine if California didn't have that (mostly) great weather?

Hi Dennis, I can only imagine what stress you are going thru right now.

But imagine you don't pay cash but rather borrow so your 5k cash/closing-down payment to buy a 100k STR, then in year 1 it rises 2k - only a paltry 2%, but you make a 40% profit as you are levered 20:1, and that beats the best year for stocks ever. 

Though I can’t imagine how you’re averaging $10k per month.
