And this offer has caused me lots of anxiety and depression for the last month.

Doing this depresses me, so I've slowed down. 

It was brutal, depressing, and extremely stressful once the market flipped.  

They neglected the possibility of regulation, and they neglected the possibility of an oversupply depressing prices.

most of Troy south of ferry st (including washington park) is in a flood zone my lender required a minimum 250k policy on the property although I bought the property for much less ($3500 per year expense) and is or at least was reflected in depressed prices in those neighborhoods 

I have generally found it extremely depressing.

I couldn't agree more with @Chris Seveney finding a good property manager is very difficult especially if its a depressed, higher crime area or a rural area.

Most areas in the Northeast PA region are fairly depressed with a lacking job market - a maintenance guy who worked for a school out there once told me "around here if you're not working for a school or hospital, you're probably doing meth".

Timber land is a very long play, easy to screw up without professional help on the front end planning, and easy to get hosed by a depressed market in the future.

Bull, bear, recession, depression, quarantine dont affect my naps period.
