Cut and dry.  

Many of these rental arbitrage people who were carrying multiple long-term apartment contracts could no longer afford to maintain their rent with no STR tenants, so they broke their leases and about 1/3rd of the STR market in Medellin dried up within a month of the borders closing.Of the surviving STRs that were left, they switched to the long-term rental (LTR) model and found tenants for the multi-month Colombian lockdown.

My thinking is that the penetrating sealer and vapor barrier do a lot for moisture (even though the space seemed dry).

Even if a significant number of people leave because of the death dust from the drying lake (gotta keep the alfalfa farmers happy), there's still going to be more people than property for the foreseeable future. 

A good air scrubber will be $900+ (We use Dri-eaz defendairs and they're awesome)

Finding a company to do a dry double closing would be difficult.

Let that dry for a day or two.

@Brian Washburn Just my Two Cents here but most people like having carpet in the bedrooms since it doesn't look as dirty as hard flooring (i.e. dust/pet hair).

When that fast buck dries up, they will abandon your property and leave you in a lurch.

We do this because we know pets come with odor and hair and we don't want to ruin our nice furniture.
