Don't get lost in analysis paralysis with data under guides of a fundamental backdrop further deteriorating by the day. 

Too many young people are trying to rush into buying something before they even have a steady job to provide the backdrop for REI.

With that as a backdrop, let’s dig deeper… LA County COVID-19 Cases.

@John Farady: thank you for the prompt response and this seems like an elegant solution to my problem.  

I was thinking a series LLC might be worth looking into, but Maryland doesn't support them, and I was curious if someone else had a more elegant solution I hadn't thought of. 

I think if you do build, renting is your backdrop if the market goes haywire.

BUT, as said earlier in the thread, this is all against the backdrop of a structural supply deficit (outside the luxury market, at least). 

The smaller increase in job creation took place against the backdrop of a surge in coronavirus cases in a number of states, including California, Texas and Florida.

At the Fed’s July 28-29 meeting, according to the Fed’s Open Market Committee’s minutes, staff economists presented a forecast that was based upon the erroneous assumption of further government support (shared by Fed officials), who believed that “with some provisions of the Cares Act set to expire shortly against the backdrop of a still-weak labor market, additional fiscal aid would likely be important for supporting vulnerable families, and thus the economy more broadly, in the period ahead.”

No reason to take offense, although his bartering might have been more elegant in his native language.
