And the majority of our country seems to support this kind of behavior.I'm not insensitive to the fact people are laid off, some are sick, some have relatives that are sick, some just finished a bout of chemo and didn't get the chance to catch their breath before this thing hit, some just lost a husband, some just lost a limb to diabetes and can't get back to work, some just ran away from an abusive or drug-addicted spouse, etc.

I am currently 50% vacant with renovations to finish and no contractors working.

Just finished up the first house and put the house on the market. 

I'm almost finished with his book and it's been extremely informative thus far! 

Finished attic, unfinished basement, hardwood floors and steam heat... the images of all the rooms seam to be in good condition, nothing paint couldn't remedy.

Needed all new finishings and drywall / paint work.

I just finished filling it up as well.

An effective way to understand that I've found is to set yourself a firm budget and put it into the search criteria on Redfin, start hearting or x ing out everything that looks like it would be a nice place to live, once you finish you can zoom out on the map and see where you have clusters of faded out bad houses and clusters of hearts, most cities I've done this with end up giving you a pretty good pattern.

I'm finishing my place there and am looking at others now.

Moving on- i have framed the basement, and got plumbing added to finish the space.
