You should get payment in the next cycle. 

Everything in this world runs in cycles.

Commercial investors often have very deep pockets so tend to be lots of buyers when you go to sell no matter the cycle (if you have the right location and the asset).Check if this DG being built is the Dollar Plus format, upgraded construction or not, and on well or sewer.

Rents often rise during recessions as the rent cycle is counter cyclical.

You are in a slow period of the yearYou are in a time in the STR market where things are slow due to the market cycle.

Lastly people change as they go through their different cycles of life.  

Before at the bottom of the cycle you could buy something and even with little rent income ride the equity wave up and as markets got stronger rents went way up.

You must have the resource to ride out any such cycles. 

It's more like a cycle.

I can't predict market cycles.
