However going into what is normally the slow season, I am concerned about occupancy. 

So all of the people I ever had paid one bill on the first of the month like a normal renter did, but technically they were on a week to week schedule for eviction purposes. 

Normally, they negotiate with the company and advise you on the loss. 

And yeah, 15-20% was what I was normally seeing as far as an overrun which is where the contingency came from. 

You would want to start with searching on YouTube for: "Clayton Morris Loses $7 Million Lawsuit" He didn't realize that @James Wise had his ish together and got a big wake up call.

In todays environment of back to historically normal interest rates and higher home values - now really is not a great time to buy.

Investors made offers to other investors to be bought out at 75 cents on the dollar (pretty normal process in trust deed lending - either stay in the deal until the end - or get out now at a discount.)

Same way you would calculate it in normal investing - once the property is 5+ units, it gets a little more nuanced.

But with my head held high gone was all the normal trappings of RE success being served as a big slice of humble pie :(.

Is that normal?
