The ones that survived have been cautious and selective for the last ~10 years.

We've got plenty of houses built in the early 1900s that have survived the last hundred years just fine.

I haven't dealt with wholesalers but I hear good things about Harry Marsh Law (harrymarshlaw.com).

She will not survive till Sept. 

Thank you, Harry

The ones that do survive 80% plus are owner operators meaning they are the business and have just a few employees.

@James Harris, welcome to BiggerPockets and congratulations on your first forum post!

Eventually, units would turnover, and rent would go from $850 to $4000 just like that (the hard thing for smaller investors, of course, is surviving until that happens, but if you have deep pockets and time it works well).
