They took a direct hit from Hurricane Harvey in August of 2017 and have had no income from the units since then. Insurance paid only part of the cost to repair. Their association had just started to book rentals and now the covid restrictions have blocked out any stay less than 30 days--weekly rentals were the balance of their business.
I'm sure overall it has worked out--but at 85 it's a bad time to try and step away in the face of a looming recession and zero demand.
Real estate is cyclic in nature and lacks liquidity -YMMV.

I was thinking the same thing. Im sure there are some very interesting opportunities but come with some high risk at this point. No risk no reward. I'm fairly conservative with the bulk but have no problem taking a longer shot with a small percentage now and then.

With the Rona vaccine around the corner in 2021, I'm thinking it may be getting close to the right time to bring some airlines back into the portfolio.

Cruise lines are still cheap. Might take a year or so for them to get back to previous highs.

I'm fairly interested in Bitcoin at the moment - been buying small amount lately to learn the 'system'. It's initially, complicated, from a pure stock/mutual fund buyer perspective, but not impossible. If you haven't dove into it yet - you should at least take a look and see if it's worth your gamble. A few financial institutions are interested, as well.
