But consumers sued them all too many times and for too much money.

Wholesaling can definitely be very time consuming, but it is possible!

This is getting very tedious and time consuming.

In a slow market homes sit and rot, they are on the MLS forever and the longer it sits, the lower the price goes to find the sweet spot for just the perfect buyer.

Keeping in mind you're not making a decision for your forever home....Let me know if you need market specific insight. 

I just think it is important for consumers to realize that they cannot use Handymen for everything (of course depending on their state as you say).And yes, better to jump in and get going.

It won't stay that way forever, so enjoy it while it lasts

I think broader consumer taste is killing malls, which includes online shopping, but also even where people are choosing to live and how they are spending their time/money, more broadly.I worked for a company that bought a failing mall back in 2012 (online shopping was "killing retail" then too), redeveloped most of it into more open air power center and sold.  

Most blinds are tough and time consuming to clean, prone to breakage/creases, strings break and get stained etc. 

Unfortunately, that is an expensive time-consuming process.
