@Andrew Scherz First off, I love the dog choice - I've always wanted an Australian Shepherd!

It’s one reason why replacement windows are so popular.

Technically in my situation had my tenant indicated to me on April 30 I would have had a tenant of my choice starting from June 1st without going through the hassle of vetting tenants during this pandemic situation. month to month lease previously reached

This strategy has become extremely popular with new investors, and I don't see us having enough "distressed" properties to meet that demand anytime soon.I see opportunities in other parts of the market though. 

It seems VRBO is pain as well, so what is the choice now?

My choices are to either roll it all back into my 401k and wind up the c-corp, or invest the funds into real estate (short or long term rentals or maybe crowdfunding some other type of asset class), roll the dice with another online venture (which is my wheelhouse but after losing a bunch of money this last time Im hesitant), or something else like stocks or bonds.

I'm directing my clients to continue to invest in markets that are popular with professionals and college students (especially medical and law schools) as well as with Section 8 in markets that have transitioned/are far in the process of transitioning. 

I will study storage units more as that seems to be the popular and common consensus here.Thank you.

I would definitely recommend this strategy, popularly called "house hacking".

If you have reserves and a 15% down payment both the Fannie Mae HomeStyle and Freddie Max Choice Renovations loans are available.
