I house hacked at 24 while getting my Masters Degree, had some options to sell at a great high point, didn't because of all of the memories that I had there for celebrations with my late mother, ect. and ended up having to hold onto the property for much longer during the downtimes ect.

Down to 1k savings, paid-off bad debts, paid consolidation loan with a lot of intensity (Thanked 2020 for the down time for that), I was back to zero in no time, I was able to save even larger and faster than I previously was when I was down on a hole with 10k in debt.

I feel much more motivated in my real estate goals because of it and find myself thinking about real estate more in general as well.I have curved my habit of jumping on Fb every time I have downtime like on a train, hanging out, etc.

Finally, unemployed workers are using their downtime to return to school to learn new skills.

Annual returns depends entirely on you finding the next project to lend on (minimize down time between deals funded).Flipping (to grow capital pool) is high on time and risk, moderately high on money. 

My intentions are to do the reno when I turn over the tenants either the first or second time around so there will have to be a little bit of downtime.

When your return is based off of the income and not the actual value of the asset, even through a down time if property values decline, you will still be making your monthly rent and can ride out the wave. 

So he was doing everything he could to keep great tenants.Estimate what work you would need to do to get higher rents, if the current people leave.How much downtime would you have with make ready and vacancy?

I imagine there will be considerable downtime in trying to get them all out and re lease it. 

I am not a big fan of this idea as I am not sure how much security it adds.I will also need to contact our insurance about the length of stay to see if there are any issues.I have always wanted to fill up the downtime and this would fill the rest of the year.
