For the record, I have absolutely nothing against multi-family investments, though it is a path that I myself have not chosen to pursue up until this point.

I think I could pony up and tough it out in a less desirable area if I had a feeling the neighborhood was “coming up”, but I’m not sure South Dallas is or how long of a game it is, so I think that’s why it feels like gambling.

Governor Desantis' Executive Order banning evictions for non payment of rent was extended through at least July 1st (and the CARES Act extends if even further if you have Fannie/Freddie financing in place or accept any type of Federal assistance such as Section 8).Even an eviction attorney's hand would be tied right now, and the courts are a gamble.
