I agree that many businesses will not survive or will be completely transformed.

The goal was to build up to nicer cars and start a collection but things have taken a turn as we've began importing vehicles from Europe and now we have this dream of building classics for companies as a mode of advertising. 

The people who will live in this type of neighborhood do not know who to take care of a house, nor is it a priority.People in war zones, do not care much about keeping the condition of the property up, survival each day  is the goal.

Basically, what you are doing here is prolonging your ability to get your brain to kick into full action mode because you are deferring the start date mentally, which manifests itself into your everyday actions (or inaction).

However, once they are out, from what I'm hearing in the area from other investors, the rent by the room model is very, very strong in Colorado Springs. 

Our business model is not necessarily apples to apples to the BRRRR, but there is so much demand in this market and it is hard to see it drying up since employment is so diverse.

Businesses were resistant to it (aka the current Amazon way) until financially this event is forcing them into it to survive. 

I would try the co-signer route if you have someone that has a good job that will do that for you.Also, then if you did FHA think they have a program that even covers the 3.5% down payment think it's called payment assistance then you can use the cash reserves to survive until you start bringing in income from a new job or what not.

I'll be 59 tomorrow, and I could survive on my current cash flow.

The more I think about it, the fact that they have two small children probably helps having it renew in November - when the kids go to school, the parents are unlikely to want to move them during the school year, not to mention end of November is right there in holiday mode.
