My goal is to buy and holds, next, to build a business around properties.        

I've operated in 9 markets during my time as a MTR operator and as our strategy has evolved to work more with businesses we often see average vacancy that's higher than 1 month.

Personally, this could not be worse news for my buyer/investor focused growing business, however my role is not going away anytime soon..For example, there have been numerous instances where the amount of price negotiation exceeded my compensation or transactions that without my (or a professionals) participation would likely not be as efficient, feasible or successful.

I am diligently attempting to continue doing business online since driving for dollars is out the door.

I had a business in an LLC and I overheard a customer talking to another in the waiting room saying he does OK suing businesses for small amounts since litigation is such a PITA, not knowing I was the owner.

I think you'd do better by getting in touch with guys in the business, seeing which of their properties perform well, figuring out why, and trying to find something similar will be best route. 

If someone makes say 75 a year income from a job or business then after taxes and living expenses there is very little to save to invest.

A lot of business can be done through BP. 

Talk to a local business banker for guidance.Best of luck with your 2024 investment goal!
