I suppose depending on the exact facts, you could try to escalate the situation to see if they would compensate you something for any damages you suffered.

Smaller communities suffered less.I forgot to mention the pension problems that some major blue cities have.

If you suffer from Paralysis my Analysis, I would narrow your investment strategy.Flipping is very different from buy and hold(passive).There are many different types of investment properties you can buy depending on your experience/ability to fix up.Paint and carpet touch-up - This investment property doesn't need much in get it rented outFoundation issues/fire/water damage houses - This type of house will be the best bang for your buck but it will require a lot of experience and expertise.Somewhere in the middle - this type of investment will need potentially a roof redone, water heater replaced, furnace replaced, mold removed, etc.

Retail is suffering but that's basically true everywhere.

Both me and mother suffer from mental illness but we pay are rent every 5th of the month.

So, it is better to make sure it is clarified IN WRITING, than to suffer the consequences if the "mistake" isn't a mistake.BTW, I had this happen to me. 

Cash flow, for the most part and if set properly - is.Also, it can be argued that unless you buy everything cash, or you are willing to suffer losses on a monthly basis, no appreciation investment can survive without cash flow.

You cant get pain and suffering damage from your contractor, so you might have to move on from wanting more legal recourse.Your main job I think is to make sure your costs are being reimbursed based on contractor bids and to ask for more if needed (its all a negotiation with insurance).  2nd job is to make repairs and move on. 

Not aware of a PM software that works well for both STR, MTR and LTR.You would need to use either an STR or LTR option and suffer through the challenges of putting a square peg in a round hole.You could use two separate softwares, but that won't be economical.

@Alexander Hadiwijaya actually Japan is suffering from a rapidly aging society and declining birth rate for a sharp decrease in population.
