That being said, it was pre-pandemic when I managed them but it was always very easy to get renters and we stayed booked up during the summers without issue for the most part with minimal downtime. 

In your down time, you fix it up.

You're going to find 4 loans back to back to back with no down time?

I would walk, RUN, skip, do backflips, or run down Times Square naked for $50,000.If someone who could've bought the place themselves for $50K suddenly wants it, is the place really worth more?

I typically purchase through agents I've established relationships with.I'm usually in and out of my office during the day, and to be really honest, I have a LOT of down time.

Most contractors can't start right away, so a week or two of downtime may be needed before they can.

If you have the downtime to - visit the market you're most interested in so you can see it first hand as well. 

If you were to miss a draw payment , work stops , we charge for down time , and add time to the completion date .

Learning to really value properties supported by what the market is doing is a good lesson that can prepare you to anticipate possible down times.  

I've been trying to look for possible investments in my down time to get a feel for what I should be looking for.
