They have the financial wherewithal to purchase a hope (and most do). 

Quote from @Will Reed: Has any one ever had roots in pipes and solve the issue with out doing excavation.

My current goal is to transform my professional Excel budgeting tools into an AI-powered app to streamline day-to-day property management, particularly for financial operations.

Prioritize your financial stability.

During the 2008 financial crash, low paid, low skilled workers were laid off in droves.

We're not curing cancer; it's just buying real estate, doing some basic math, buying some furniture and kitchen utensils, maybe getting creative with some amenities, and listing properties on STR platforms...it's daunting when you're new, certainly a grind to get started, but it's not a mystery or puzzle to solve.

We're dealing with utterly incompetent property managers, but once we solve that situation, it should cash flow well...

I'm curious about the financials, which I'm sure you will get to.

Cutting our losses and selling was difficult, but it was the best option given our financial woes.I’d love to hear from others—has anyone else faced something this unexpected during a BRRRR or flip?

We decided the cost was too high and it was not worth it from a financial or risk perspective.
