Up until this point I had felt that meaning in my life was hopeless and that my future was to be that of misery while enduring working at meaningless the rest of my days.

While the air scrubbers were running (think loud fan), the tenants could not use the bedroom for a few days, so we compensated them with a $300 check and a thank you for enduring the interruption to their lives.

Although you had some issues with the total value-add in your basement, I believe the extra beds/baths will be well worth it long-term in regards to commanding higher rents, better quality tenants, etc.Sorry to hear about the terrible timeline you ended up enduring as well.

After reading up on the quality and endurance of windows manufactured from 1940 and before, it is apparent that people too often replace them as a matter of course with modern windows that are both not inexpensive and are far inferior to the old material and construction.

What about the people even younger than them who had to endure the hardship of a parent or both parents losing their jobs and their retirement savings and needing to liquidate their assets?

The independent latchkey generation (my generation) raised their kids to be dependent on their parents.The Boomers were raised by The Greatest Generation who endured the extreme hardships of The Great Depression and World War II.

But if you buy a good enough property, you should be able to endure a drop in value.

@Grant Rothenburger to be honest I'm not sure as there are a few established companies such as; Realty Mogul, PeerStreet and Fundrise that will most likely endure, however, there are other smaller companies that have either recently gotten into the space or are trying to get into the space and just won't make it based on today's margins.Don't get me wrong I think the real estate crowdfunding space will stick around and numerous companies will come out successful, however, the companies that are full of generalizations, estimations and marketing will close fairly quickly.Since I have very limited investments in this space I'm not sure which ones will consolidate and which ones will close in the near future.FYI, I have no affiliation with Realty Mogul, PeerStreet or Fundrise.

Or are you going to have to throw everyone out in the first year and endure heavy turnover costs in each unit?

The benefits of off-site fabrication are plenty: There's no inclement weather to worry about, there's more efficient sourcing and utilization of materials, less material waste in the factory, less site disturbance, less neighborhood disturbance, less soil compaction, less erosion from construction activity, better quality control, larger purchasing power, there are many more.The modular fabrication market in the United States is disturbingly inadequate compared to what's happening across Europe and Asia with the adoption of robotics and automation in their production.
