Especially, after the storms and the loss of the projected income and they have no way to repair or replace everything that was lost.  

I know with a hard money lender, you lost good amount of profit. 

I am proving something to my dispo team here.

So I will speak to you know, mask off in a raw and unfiltered way and tell you what has happened to me in the last few months, this I believe is one for the books on real estate horror stories as I have lost all of my money and nearly lost my life. 

I've lost count of the number of RAD investors who posted in the BiggerPockets forums about their "hard money loans" and then having their distributions "frozen".

Within a year of the higher rent more than covered both the damages and lost rent...in both cases. 

Happy to team up if you are pursuing legal action. 

Buying an out of state rental property from a realtor, wholesaler or off facebook or zillow etc as opposed to from an operation or turnkey provider who has an active, substancial, and effective boots on the ground team or teams to support you after you close on the sale. 

Any such study is tainted by the fact that Zillow lost an enormous amount of money on their own home buying initiative.

They gambled, and lost.
