The bigger problem is that if this isn't market practice in your area, you'll be at a competitive disadvantage.

Global demand for goods has and will continue to diminish as the world tries to battle and then recover from COVID.

🌎I think it goes without saying we are all in the beginning of the shell shocked stage that this Covid-19 is bringing and will bring to our local, national and global community.

I live in California and we’ve been ordered to Shelter In Place state wide, so things have changed so much in my area as I’m sure they have around the world...Weeks before the Shelter In Place order, it was pretty much a sellers market and competition was steep!

Obviously, it will differentiate by how competitive the market is.

It's the same Global Economy idea that ushered in the great depression, as regular people as well as businesses got into trading on a margin of 10% or less.

It's competitive so you have to get a little creative and not be afraid to put in a few offers, but it's still possible to find a good deal.

Secondly, I would caution you to change that mindset, the military actually pays very competitively, it just doesn't show on your W2 because a LARGE portion of your income isn't taxed.

If all of the comps in your neighborhood have a garage, you may at least need to put up a carport to be competitive.

It's not a good model unless you are charging enough each time that you can afford to pay back 30% (lets call it) of what you are grossing and at that rate, you're not competitive with the market.
