Is there some reason that you or the company simply don't discuss what happened and use this as an opportunity to turn a negative post into a positive one for the company?  

Also, make sure to keep your eye out for seller financing opportunities. 

Memphis is full of opportunities; whether you're looking for properties that are cash flow or appreciation focused, or both, the Memphis market will always have something for you.

This amounts to lost opportunity because if you had purchased RE, at the closing it can start producing return. 5) ADUs detract from the existing structure whether this is privacy, a garage, or just yard space. 6) this is related to number 1, but there are many more buyers looking to purchase homes for their family than there are RE investors looking to purchase small unit count properties.
