I can't quite translate this to stocks, but I think getting a job or starting a small side hustle (even in the real estate world) can yield more cash flow than what dividends would give...unless you've got hundreds of thousands sitting in the bank. 

Is it translating into any real opportunities yet or still premature on the distressed front?

An attempt at being comical that perhaps didn't translate well.
