So companies, restaurants especially, they wanted to open back up once the lockdowns started lifting, had a hard time finding people because people were being paid more to stay at home than work.

I bought my first rental at 19 years old while washing dishes at a restaurant.

People of color had the same limitations and were essentially shut out of the investment world.

It's amazing how far you can get with a case of beer, a bottle of Scotch, a gift card to a restaurant, or sometimes even a smile. 

Call the utilities and find out when power, etc was shut off. 

There very common in the restaurant space though. 

I'd do an inspection (with proper notice) and if they shut the power off themselves, just confirm that via some type of provable method (email them and ask..."

We sold the first weekend over ask and with only a pass/fail inspection, largely thanks to the curb appeal and proximity to walkable restaurants and attractions.

You can see the windows used to open but they sealed them shut.

The town is going to shut the water off and that obviously not a good thing for anyone.
