Since Covid this is just the way of the world with STR/MTRs, it can require more cleaning and cause damage but if you want to complete it is a necessity. 

We understand that not every lender will provide us with a commitment letter due to risks outside of our control (the market, covid, the borrower, etc).

great sentiment, especially now, after the hype train of the covid, its interesting to see who is sticking around, keeping their heads down and putting in the work.

I live in Utah, where the real estate market has exploded to say the least through COVID, so investing in my backyard isn't something I'm interested in right now.I'm looking for a market with houses available to be renovated under $50k!

I think as BP evolves it will address these issues from an AI or automated approach or better lookup function.  

We hosted meetings at The Home Depot in Belleville, Il prior to covid.

@Zen Johnson pre-Covid, pretty good overall.

In 2019 I purchased a Duplex in New Orleans for $219,000, I was able to refinance during Covid to a 3% interest rate.

@Andy Mirza I agree that there will be vast opportunities for distressed debt in the post-Covid environment, but we won't see those assets probably for another 9 months or more.

Fortunately generous Covid Appreciation made it all ok some time later and I’ve since found a pitbull of a building inspector that I won’t do a deal without.
