Yes I fell into this trap.

I fell right into it.

I acquired my properties in 2013, kind of fell in my lap.

They are rare, and hard to spot/access for most people.I got lucky and fell into one in 2019 (Detroit) and bought C-class stuff hand-over-fist for 2 years.

Economists note that job growth in typically underreported industries fell by 42,000 compared to the 6-month average, suggesting August’s numbers may understate actual gains.Key Employment GainsConstruction: +34,000 jobs, driven by heavy civil engineering and nonresidential trade contractors.Healthcare: +31,000 jobs, though slower than the past year's monthly average of 60,000.Social Assistance: +13,000 jobs, with more modest growth compared to previous months.Other growing sectors include financial activities, wholesale trade, and government (+24,000 jobs).Job Losses and Sector StrugglesManufacturing: -24,000 jobs.Retail: -11,100 jobs.Temporary help employment continues to shrink, reflecting business uncertainty.Wage and Fed Policy ImplicationsWages rose by 0.4% in August, up 3.8% year-over-year, supporting a cautious approach by the Federal Reserve on deeper rate cuts.

My last duplex fell out because the buyer was asking for a 4% rate. 

Then it didn’t pass the city inspection because of landscaping debris and tree branches that fell in my yard, so I put in $5k more.After 6 months of vacancy, a new tenant moved in and immediately began complaining about everything.

Neighbor refused to cut trees down.One tree fell on tenants RV, totaling it.

A few deals fell through because of varies reasons, but ultimately we had tons of action on the houses and eventually found the perfect buyer.

Hello - I listed one unit (my unit) in south loop a month ago- had a ton of activity in August but both the 2 potential tenants who both paid for background checks fell threw!
