- College and University enrollment is still struggling to pick up after the pandemic.

Wish I would have dumped more into it after the pandemic scare.

You may have heard that during the recent pandemic, some states. like CA and NY, made it virtually impossible to evict a tenant - for almost any reason.

I had a small (5 unit) apartment building that I sold just as covid ended; I needed to get out from under it because the pandemic laws allowed tenants to live for free and it was killing me.

The pandemic really sealed it's fate.https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/06/business/wework-bankruptcy/in...Now, I am not comparing this to STR arbitrage that gets discussed here but there are some correlations, just on a much bigger scale.

Meanwhile, I was getting into deals - Last time I saw him was early 2021 and he was nervous the pandemic would continue to drag on and destroy the economy, so he was not comfortable. 

Even prior to the pandemic, it was impossible to find anything in Sea Pines that would come close to cash flowing with professional property management. 

I decided it would be wise to purchase because of certain things that occurred when the pandemic hit.

Wholesalers have gotten even worse since the pandemic and they're pushing anything to make a buck.NEVER take anyone's numbers.

Yeah pre-pandemic prices were crazy good to find deals.
