why wreck it rushing? 

The economy won't be wrecked forever, this will be a temporary blip that is hard for many but we will get through it together!

I use a wrecking bar (pry bar, but 3’ long).

Would doing it this wreck my taxes if I didn't buy a house within that calendar year? 

This was a slow motion train wreck which has turned real time very quickly. 

They always make a new one so they don’t wreck their main account.

If it's newer construction (less than 20 years old) it'll probably look decent on the outside, but tenants may have wrecked the inside.2) What's the seller's motivation for selling?

In Ga / Atlanta metro areas silly bidders with pockets of stupid cash are paying near retail for wrecks.   

In other words, a few people might do this and get away with it for a month or two or three, but there's no way the laws are going to be changed in all of the Western World that is going to favor squatter's rights, and when this crisis subsides those few who do so will find they have wrecked their credit and created unnecessary chaos in their lives. 

I just read an article about how NY is proposing a CANCELATION of rent.I also listened to a couple of podcasts from some of my favorite and most respected business idols claiming that we are on the verge of a major DEPRESSION...I too have my own theories about the totally wrecked balance sheets, the terrifying overleveraging as in relation to income, and P/E ratios that are out of control of many of the world's leading corporations...not to mention why so many of the world's leading CEO's just stepped down in the last 6 months (google it) Given those facts, we may just be on the verge of a depression.
