Hopefully this downturn is temporary, but you may have to carry losses on these investments for several months.

If I was in that type of situation however, I would probably need to find a way to obtain a W2 job that can provide an income to help fund my real estate investing but I would need to get creative with the types of jobs and know that these jobs are a temporary discomfort (food service jobs, customer service, in home-supportive services for developmentally disabled).

This can easily change if you pay off early or appreciation/rents increase or decrease by more than 2% per year in that market. 

@David Valladares I agree that house-hacking is the way to go, to build wealth faster, particularly because you would be decreasing your own housing expenses.

I will of course make a concession and/or offer to repair the ceiling if it's damaged at any point during the sale or shortly after, even though it's a temporary fix until the roof is fixed. 

-if prices do not rebound we will need a plan beyond that and it will not be pretty-this can and will hit the rental market in a variety of ways and here are a few potential issues i see.1. higher end rentals could see prices drop or vacancies increase as this type of downturn could hit middle to upper income families that have not budgeted or who see their jobs or incomes decrease as companies tighten their belts and cut salaries or even lay off more folks.2. low income rentals would see more evictions and more late rent payments and potentially small decreases in price - while many of the low income families in town do not work for the oil and gas industry they do often work in service industries that are frequented by oil and gas folks or depend on programs that are subsidized by oil and gas money in our state budget. 3. property prices and values - prices are being driven up on investment properties mostly by out of state investors as there are very few areas where you can get a "decent" property for under 100k and we are still one of them.
