Insurance will let me rebuild eventually, but flood/windstorm won't cover lost rent during the time to recover; which frankly could be 1-2 years.  

part is that if it didn't take 11 months the ARV wouldn't have increased and if your rehab costs stayed the same you might have lost money.

I know of a couple agents that lost their license over it and faced some serious fines and penalties.

If all else fails and your still lost.

Pensions substitute your lost wages when you stop working!

The most important thing is, lost the owner-occupied group of buyers.

You'd be surprised how much gets lost in translation or is simply not relayed to the seller who is going to make the ultimate decision.

If you ditched it today, and bought a duplex , how quickly would you make up the money you lost?
