“Who” can most easily absorb a financial hit is purely subjective and isn’t relevant.Home owners certainly “should” have reserves for financial catastrophes like ones that I have endured.  

I would rather catch the virus than endure all of that.

I'm interested in building strong and enduring wealth through my real estate investments.

I think it's a great buying opportunity if you have the stomach to endure the insane fluctuations, but for me, I easeeeeeee in every other Monday with an ETF type stock that tracks a broad market and has a bucket of securities within it.

I'm sure this thing is tough on a lot of people who were not prepared for it financially, or supply wise (W2 and Owner Operators both).The mandatory stay at home orders, food shortages, TP shortages, job loses, the uncertainty of your financial situation, having no job, or having to let some of your people go, etc...But it will end, and it may make it more endurable to focus on a possible end date. 

I am so surprised and disappointed that this generation of investors has not the character nor the courage to endure this crisis with some dignity.

All this on top of the aforementioned stresses that Lenders are having to endure.

I actually attended a REIA meeting last year (I won't say where) in which the presenter, the "voice of experience" for that group, got up and encouraged investors to endure negative cash flow for up to 3 years on the insane promise of inevitable wealth and riches to be made sometime in the future.Made me sick to my stomach to watch.

Good work, what were your most enduring lessons?

 In the past we have endured many hardships that we have been put through but I would say currently is the ultimate test of resilience in the face of adversity and some of us have made the necessary monetary nest eggs to weather the toughest days ahead.
